    @Oz Mendoza: Giles Goat Boy is one of my fave novels of all time. Found it on Bruce Sterling's recommended reading list of slipstream novels, about 10 years ago, I think.

    I always assumed WSJ readers didn't read fiction, let alone have imaginations. Yes, I'm a capitalist-hater, but I want to read these books anyway.


    And hey, I bought the Shadowrun books without playing! Next stop: acclaimed sci-fi author. But seriously, I did intend to play but it wasn't "cool" enough for my nerdy friends. There is _nothing_ cooler than a troll with a mono-molecule-bladed axe and a USB in his skull. Nothing!

    @txtphile: Hey I used to work for the WSJ. It has some pretty literate readers, and runs book reviews for that matter.

    Hey, I like you too. In fact, I like everybody who goes out and buys my books.

    @davidlouisedelman01: I can't afford them, but my library has them. Will you like me too? Or at least not hate me?

    that opening line really could have been better phrased, unless you want everyone knowing you're bibliophiliacs.

    @tetracycloide: Good point. Slightly less salacious version up now!
