Outlining Renaissance Girl more than reading an actual novel. Been doing all sorts of gnarly researchness though.

The Belgariad by David Eddings.

A friend of mine keeps saying I'm like one of the characters in this, but refuses to elaborate.  So I am forced to read, if only to see if I owe him a pint or a slip of tabasco in his next meal.

I also have a new translation of The Iliad I want to look over.  So far, its ranking fairly highly, certainly better than most Greek to English dictionary jobs that are out there.

Cool.  Feel free to introduce yourself in Apple Chat, we've got a thread up there specially for it.

I suspect my friend meant Silk.  I'm noting a certain similar type of humour....or my affinity for (when posting pictures of myself on the internet) being mostly in the shadows.  One reason or the other.

I will go visit Apple chat.

For whatever it's worth, Silk is probably my favorite character.  Certainly, the most resourceful, and a wonderful whit.

Philip K. Dick, Man in the High Castle

I love this book. While so much of PKD's stuff is amazing, this one is far and away my favorite, although that's probably in large part due to my love of "what if" fiction.
People of the United States! We are Unitarian Jihad! We can strike without warning. Pockets of reasonableness and harmony will appear as if from nowhere! Nice people will run the government again! There will be coffee and cookies in the Gandhi Room after the revolution.

Arguing with a Unitarian Universalist is like mud wrestling a pig. Pretty soon you realize the pig likes it.
