Here's an extra just for LJ people. The "update journal" redesign has made creating polls easier, I think, and has tempted me. I simply cannot resist these damn'd options (I know I have a problem). Anyway, be honest. I really am curious.

Date: 2004-09-24 05:55 pm (UTC)It probably also bears mentioning that, while I think LRM is the best from a story-crafting perspective, Silk would have been my choice if the poll had asked which book was my favorite.

Date: 2004-09-24 06:25 pm (UTC)Look here, you silly garda. Just vote for the best one you've read so far. This ain't rocket science.

Well, a monkey could be a garda. Garda = boy. But there are no monkeys on Nebari Prime, nor any primatoids of any sort. The Nebari people are the only surviving members of that lineage.

And Jenny's a total slacker about her e-mail, but I'll have her check it this evening.

Date: 2004-09-25 05:57 am (UTC)Sadly, the cell phone is dead. It died at Dragon*Con, and I've not had time to buy another. I dropped it one too many times...

I have read Murder of Angels. I managed to not devour it in a single sitting but only succeeded in pacing myself through the half-way mark. It's fantastic and beautiful but Narcissa throws the balance firmly in favor or LRM for me.

Date: 2004-09-24 09:50 pm (UTC)both harrowing and heartwarming, a veritable rollercoaster ride of emotion, caitlin r. kiernan's the one where ross and rachel fight remains atop my list of life-changing volumes.

Date: 2004-09-24 10:12 pm (UTC)You would bring that up, wouldn't you?

You're sick, sick lady...

Date: 2004-09-24 10:00 pm (UTC)I thought it was so hauntingly beautiful. I loved the play of sides. How someone who we think is good, could be bad (and vice versa) depending on your prospective. That it is truly all gray area.

Date: 2004-09-27 09:34 pm (UTC)I am still trying to wrap my mind around Murder of Angels, which I finished a few days ago. It will be awhile before I will be able to pick it up again. Believe it or not, that is a compliment to your craft.
While I was in Borders today, just because I felt like it, I took a copy of Murder of Angels out of the rows, and put it across the rows, so that the cover was visible over the several copies they had there. Just because I could.

Date: 2004-09-28 06:52 pm (UTC)Okay, I did it, I voted...even though I've only read two on the list. Just wanted to let you know that my former stats. teacher, Dr. Kashefi, would go apeshit and swear in three languages if he heard about this. I've seen him mad, it's not pretty.

Those single book authors must have it easy.
