I'm very glad the book arrived safely. (I say that as though it had been on some kind of Great Adventure. Heh.)
Also, this:
but it will somehow annoy the bigots even more.
I sure hope so!
On another, sort of similar, note, there's a feminist cyberpunk novel that's just been reissued by Tor that I'm interested in picking up. I was reading the Amazon reviews (what a mistake that was) and am now thoroughly pissed off by one in particular. Short version, the sexual relations of the (lesbian) characters were "a slap in the face." Um... really?
I'm straight (okay, I've been the "Q" in LGBTQ when I was younger), but I'm pretty much straight. And yet these things make me so angry. Also, disappointed. I don't know why I even get disappointed anymore.

I will now cease ranting on your LJ. Sorry!
