Kevin's Watch

Yes, indeed.

ha!!! i knew it!!! so, somebody else will have to tell what it's from cause i got no idee.

Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? (And that's a wild guess, 'cause it's been so long since I read it that I actually have no idea.

--A

No it isn't sheep--I noticed Dick's style too--It almost sounds like Screamers, but it's not...I don't think I've ever read it.

Could be one of the Valis trilogy books?

No, but good guesses.

Not if they're wrong they're not.

Guess it was too obscure.

It's Solar Lottery.

One of my favorites, from Catherynne M. Valente's Yume Me Hon: Book of Dreams:

"Put a truce to any thoughts of departure. I am she who glides through the sky when the snow is falling fast, the lady of frost and darkness. I am a ghost, which is not to say I ever lived. I am a memory, which is not to say I ever died. I begin at the moment the ice on the river begins to crack like bones of glass. I am a silence written on pulp mash paper, in ink drawn from village wells"

It's not my turn, again. Jump in anytime.

Discontent ruled the stars, and there were portents in the
heavens.

On the fourth day of Eluria, which follows the Feast of
Consanguinity, a great comet was seen in the night sky. It
crossed east to west over the Tree and lasted for half a
fortnight. It left a black scar on the flesh of existence, a scar
that glowed and lingered.

oh! should i read this, Sorus? this looks interesting!
(i cheated and looked it up)

One of my favorite authors. I don't read much 'light fantasy', but it's a fun series.

I step out from the front door like a ghost into the fog.nobody notices the contrast of white on white.i disappear.

In between the moon and you the angels get a better view...

of the crumbling difference between wrong and right.(yeah, i'm sorry-dont remember vast swathes of quotes from books i've read but these lines were memorable to me all the same-great imagery)

I walk in the air between the rain through myself and back again
Where? I don’t know
Maria says she’s dying through the door I hear her crying
Why? I don’t know

(i love this song and this album, duritz hasn't written ANYthing worth a hoot since August and Everything After)

No.

And you can blame tj for derailing the thread! grrrr...


It's all good!

'round here we stay up very very
very very late'
