I threw it away in that little garbage can on my screen when I was done sending it to Danlo.
If he still has it maybe he can forward it to you.
I am still reading Earth, and then will read Ilium by Dan Simmons, then Consider Phelbas by Ian Banks. I have a bunch of used Zelazny books I recently purchased that I would like to get started on, too...

Let me know what you think of Ilium. I read "A Winters Haunting" and thought it was decent although it had a weak ending, although practically all contemporary fiction seems to suffer from this to a degree.

I'm reading Revelation Space by Alastair Reynolds. I took a while to get going, but I'm really into it now. The universe created by Reynolds is very rich indeed, and this looks like a promising series.
I'll want to read the following two books in the near future, but I've also got a couple of Iain Banks books to read, the second half of Reave the Just and I still haven't gotten around to Mordant's Need yet.
So many books, so little time.

Metaplanetary is proving 2 b very good on the whole--the new concepts can be a bit overwhelming--but the quantum stuff is quite enjoyable and eye opening. There r certian lulls, and sometimes u wonder why this new character has emerged, but then u have 2 remember that he is working on a sequel. In other words he is creating alot of dif POVs but they sorta sneak up on u, contrary 2 Martin where we xpect them all the time...
It all comes 2gether nicely--but like Neverness (Earthy!
) it's not a zip-though book...u really r forced 2 put it down and let all this new way of thinking seep in2 u...I think Hyperion fans will really like this book!
LF, I don't kno if I can do it or if my email sucks--I tryed 2 send Kraken 2 caam...but she only got 2 pages--the rest got kicked right back 2 me...each instalment is huge, like 1000k+ apiece, I have no idea how Duchess got it 2 me! What I might do is print the damm thing then I can send copies 2 caam's and ur snail mail addresses, if u choose 2 email me that....

Yesterday I was at a book auction and got hold of an old copy of "Jack of Shadows" by Zelazny. I have been looking for this book for ages. 
I am also currently in the middle of "The Grand Eclipse" by Volsky, where I have been stuck for a while.

Right this very minute, I am doing re-reads of all the Covenant books. When I heard a few weeks back that Donaldson was writing the Third Chronicles I decided to read the others all over again. I think I have them memorized actually. Before that, I was reading the latest Harry Potter. (found it sad
).
Peace,

I just bought a copy but haven't started it yet. Hope I can finish it before fall semester starts.

I only have a chapter or two left and it is blowing my mind! A mixture of Greek myths, Shakesperean myths, a touch of the flavor of Zelazny's Lord of Light, and partly entirely original, I now cannot stand the wait for Olympos!
I hope to finish this evening and then will get started on Damelon's highly recommended Consider Phelbas by Banks...
