Cainad, have you finished TUC yet? Because I want to drop spoilers.

Thanks to Cain, I have been forced to start this series from the beginning (meaning the first book of the Prince of Nothing series) and now I have a lot of reading ahead of me so I don't appreciate that and Cain should feel bad (and subsidize the cost of these books). But at least I don't have to worry about what I'm going to read next for the next eight years or so.
OK, so, The Unholy Consult. Wow. That was an ending. And then some.
I really can't say anything without spoilering the shit out of what happened, except I will say Meppa was nowhere to be seen. So I can only assume he has been secreted away somewhere by Kelhus and has a role to play in the final trilogy. And as the Last Cishaurim, with power enough to even wow Kelhus, I can't imagine his role being minor.
4 days until The Unholy Consult is released.
Given the last book ended with a nuke going off, I can't wait to see what happens in this one. I'm expecting the kind of wham ending we saw with The Thousandfold Thought. As to what that will be...who can say?
SHIT I FORGOT IT'S JULY
Well I guess I know what I'm doing when I get back from vacation. I already have bookmarks in three other books that I'm dead-set on finishing soon, but some things are more important.
Huh, on Amazon it says it comes out the 25th? Happy Birthday to me, in any case.

Reading all sorts of stuff from the Black Wings of Cthulhu anthologies collected and edited by S.T. Joshi. Full of great weird fiction stories. Really inspiring stuff, and the little introductions by Joshi at the beginning of each book are great too.
Parts of it read like a very dry, academic rendering of a TGRR dream. It's kind of amazing.
Roger Waldo Emerson?
A national bestseller, Dictionary of the Khazars was cited by The New York Times Book Review as one of the best books of the year. Written in two versions, male and female (both available in Vintage International), which are identical save for seventeen crucial lines, Dictionary is the imaginary book of knowledge of the Khazars, a people who flourished somewhere beyond Transylvania between the seventh and ninth centuries. Eschewing conventional narrative and plot, this lexicon novel combines the dictionaries of the world's three major religions with entries that leap between past and future, featuring three unruly wise men, a book printed in poison ink, suicide by mirrors, a chimerical princess, a sect of priests who can infiltrate one's dreams, romances between the living and the dead, and much more.
