weaktwos | Oh, and...

...I started reading "Approaching Oblivion" by Harlan Ellison today.

modeleccentric loaned it to me.

I'm so embarrassed I had not read him before. He's awesome. Oh, the shame I have. The shame.

Pick up a short story collection called "Deathbird Stories," if you can find it. Trust me on this.

I second that motion and move to send it for a vote. It is astoundingly good; I had it once and either lost it or gave it to someone.

Where have you been hiding? I haven't seen anything from you in the past four days!

That's possibly the book that had the most profound effect on my life, or a close second to Andrew Vachss' Down in the Zero.

Yeah, Ellison's the bomb.
