Chandrahas Choudhury sent me his list of best books of the year and I had to admit I hadn't read any of them except part of Netherland.

Mike Young's Noo Journal 9 is out, with an excerpt from Strangelets (which is still so far from a final draft it's not even funny).

A giant anthropomorphic continental rabbit that could talk (but mostly would just sigh) and be endearingly grouchy would probably be the ideal grandparent.

I don't want to go to work tomorrow.
