Status check -- anyone out there who plans to read A Night in the Lonesome October, but hasn't been able to yet? If so, please let me know where you are (ordered a copy but haven't received it yet, started but haven't finished it, etc.)

Thanks! :)

Nope. Never read it.

There are a whole bunch of authors that I've heard people
mention...

Is Zelzeny the one that everyone says is nuts? Or is that Piers Anthony? I can never remember.

That would be Piers Anthony. I haven't heard anything negative about Roger Zelazny. Sadly, Zelazny passed away a few years ago. Zelazny is best known for his Amber books (beginning with Nine Princes in Amber.) Piers Anthony is best known for his Xanth book. I would not recommend reading Piers Anthony books to anyone over the age of sixteen

Zelazny is a good writer, but I haven't liked that much of his stuff, incidentally. I'm not saying he's bad, just not usually to my taste. A Night in the Lonesome October, however, was terrific. A true pleasure to read.

Ah. Okay. Sorry.

I can be dreadfully dense sometimes.

Oh, fah

No harm in asking! It's not like I recognize all the references to films and books that you make. Nobody expects you to know every SF author, or what rumors go with which one. :)
