OK, this is really me...

Is this thing on?

OK, Item 1: I will probably use "Current Music" to hold "Book I am currently reading" instead.

I don't have an Item 2.

Mark!

Glad to have you here, Mark. I look forward to that audio post you promised a while back.

Talk to you soon!

I promise I will get to it! I'm glad to be here as well, although I think the first thing that an open textarea prompts is writer's block!

Of couse, I could always post about whether TWoP is up or down, but that would pretty much waste LJ's disk space.

You can come hangout with Adina and I in our community. We're trading posts back and forth right now.

Oooh, is Lisey's Story good?

Lisey's Story

[markhb_pwm]

Yes, it is, although it may not be your cup of tea just yet. From what I've read so far (and I'm moving very slowly on it), it's a rumination on the inner language of a marriage seen through the eyes of a widow, and he also has a contrasting view going on dealing with her relationship with her sisters. The horror and fantastic elements have been pretty well muted so far. The directions he's gone in since he completed what he initially set out to do (The Dark Tower) have been interesting; I would definitely read Colorado Kid if you haven't already... it's his attempt at a Mickey Spillane-style mystery novel.

Still casting about for good icons....

Coo-el. That sounds really interesting, I'll have to look it up.

Good icons make the world go round. I suggest spide_icons.

I used to say it that way ("Coo-el!") when I was, well, younger than I am now :)

I will look at spide_icons stuff! Thanks!
