Buffy ,'Sleeper'
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."
In the last book of the Second Chronicles of Amber, I got the impression that Zelazny suspected he had a rather permanent deadline coming up. A few things get tied up a little too quickly, but I'm just glad he had a chance to finish it.
My favorite Zelazny of all time, though, is "A Night in the Lonesome October." My gosh.
I want "The Great Book of Amber." Everything in one place. drool.
I tend to go backwards instead and try to hunt down older and older editions. I have a first edition Guns of Avalon, but never could afford a Nine Princes. My favourite is probably the Easton Press copy of This Immortal that I grabbed a bunch of years ago. Pretty book.

I have a couple of things that Roger signed for me at a con about 10 years before he died. I wish I had more. Not for collectibility, well sort of, but they'll form part of my estate.
I thought A Night in the Lonesome October was a lot of fun, Connie. Pretty late in his career but he still had power then. 24 Views of Mount Fuji by Hokusai is one of my favourite pieces that he wrote later on (1985).
One other writer was just breaking into the field at that time and went up against Zelazny for a number of the awards above. Who was that writer and what awards did he win? The answer of course, will be next time.
Samuel Delaney, of course. They were the Twin Hot Young Science Fiction Studs of the Mid Sixties.

Well, Kirk Brandon is currently touring with his new band, Marco Perroni was last seen producing Sinead O'Connor....
This has been number 1 in an occasional series called "jokes only Hec, Jon and possibly ita will get"
Guns of Avalon was my introduction to Zelazny, and still my favorite of his novels. Nine Princes was the last of the original chronicles that I read, and I found I enjoyed that book much less than all the others.
While I disagree with the blurb that romance novels are inherently silly, these mock-up covers of romance novels are really friggin' funny. I think my favorite is "For the Love of Scottie McMullet".
Oh! Lord of the Tube Socks!
I am going to be muttering that to myself all day.
For the love of Scottie McMullett! Heee!
No, no, the best is clearly Okay, You're Taller Than Me.
Well, Kirk Brandon is currently touring with his new band, Marco Perroni was last seen producing Sinead O'Connor....
Marco probably made enough money on that record for Sinead to retire. Not bad for an original Ant.

Heh. And yet when Jon was visiting the other night, we didn't speak in a secret code of insider references at all.
