If YA is the choice we need Jez. She blows through this cr..stuff. :whistling:

The furur is all mein. ;)

Since I've been badly out of the loop I only heard this just today from my dad. We were both hoping to see him play before he died as we did get to see Ralph Stanley play a couple years back in Seattle. It would've been difficult though as Scruggs I think played pretty near where he lived mostly.

No, not yet. I think I have Saturn's Children and Accelerando too but I'll damned if I can find them right now.

Some Nebula nominees aren't even Nebula worthy I think (last year's Black/All Clear winner from reviews I've read). I don't know that all the attention has been positive - it has just received a lot of it.

I gave up on The Atrocity Archives and Halting State although it may have been partly my fault for not concentrating enough early on in both books and then having no clear idea of what is going on. I did like his collection Wireless though.

I think this is probably the most talked about science fiction novel I can remember ever seeing. It just may have to do with this internet thing. I'll hold out for the trade paperback.

Great link, I love stuff like that.

Increase them compared to how many good ones are available but probably not increase them in total. The statement makes no distinction for "poorer" films or for better ones but total movies being made. There was, and still is, less money being lent to make movies so less overall are being made.

I think the problem may have been worsened over the last three years because of the credit crunch, at least in terms of increasing the amount of films made. So it'll probably have an an echo at the theaters for a few years more.

Rubbish!: The Archaeology of Garbage - William Rathje and Cullen Murphy The World Without Us - Alan Weisman Guns, Germs and Steel - Jared Diamond Fast Food Nation - Eric Schlosser All very informative and entertaining.

No. It's probably not even beyond six or eight books. I'm not much of a series fan anymore.

I read Black Sun Rising by C.S. Friedman in '94 while we drove cross country for four or five days. Book as means of escape from pestering family members. I read The Terror by Dan Simmons in Depoe Bay, Oregon a couple years ago while we lounged in a friend's timeshare condo on the ocean. That...
