I'm chockful of
Crown of Stars
love right now. I'm towards the end of the fifth book which is making me sad because we're heading towards something. . . something that probably won't happen until the next (and supposed final) book. And that book isn't out and I can't find (although I haven't really tried) when it might be coming out.
I know that people here prefer the Jaran books. I haven't read those in ages. I only have three and I believe that there are four. (I see this is a growing habit of Kate Elliott's.)
Film studios are already trying to get the rights to
Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell.
Oops, not interesting enough for a doublepost.
Do any of you out there have a copy of the "archy" books by Don Marquis? I am looking for the chapter titled "archy has a seizure," and in particular for the poem "The Hero Cockroach," but I don't know which book it is in.
I apologize if I'm stating the obvious, but have you tried Googling to see if the text is online?

My books are worn and missing pages, but you can check [link] for info.
Google has only turned up part of the poem, but that is where I got the info that the poem I am looking for is in the "archy has a seizure" chapter. If I can narrow down which book that particular chapter is in it would be a step forward. I'm not willing to buy all the archy titles from Amazon just for the one poem.
donmarquis.com is a nice web site. I had found it before and it has some good stuff I had never read before, but it doesn't have the one piece I am looking for.

I bet the webmasters would be able to pin down which book it is, though. It doesn't appear to be in Archy and Mehitabel (using Amazon's Search Inside feature), which would narrow it to the two OOP books or one of the Archyology books.
When did you read it first?
I read it first in 1974 in a 5th grade textbook, an anthology compiled by Louis Untermeyer. The same book introduced me to Rudyard Kipling and Guy Wetmore Carryl.
Fond memories.
edited because the man's name is "Carryl," not "Carroll."

In that case, I don't *think* it would be in the Archyology ones.
I hate when the one piece I want is the hardest one to find.
