Without illos, single-spaced, the material I've gathered out of the year's comments on these, is over 40 pages. There's a lot to work with here.
Collected all the notes into a single document this morning. So on the memory stick it goes, to the copy shop. It is inconvenient not having a printer at home. Yet I still calculate, considering how expensive printer cartridges are, it's still less expensive by far going to the copy shop -- 3 cents per page, and less over 150 pp. Yes, an Asian family owned and staffed . . . . How long will they survive on this strip that godzilla thug, NYU, is attempting to grab all of for its expansion? They are so close to the supermarket -- which the Purple Gang is doing everything in its considerable power to eradicate -- that going there isn't inconvenient, really, other than they aren't open on Sundays . . . .
BTW, finally a rec for sf/f by a subscriber to the List came in -- for Gibson's Peripheral.
Marlon James's A Brief History of Seven Killings still holds without any rival as the number one fiction rec. But by-and-large, there are few fiction recs at all. My own reading journal has very few novels in it, and the commentary to almost all of them consists merely of "did not finish."
