September 24, 2003 Van Reid recommended Anubis Gates to me tonight at his reading. I hadn't met him before... he's really nice. And his reading went well. And I have a new book to look up.
Replies: 3 comments The Anubis Gates is great (and will probably be more to your taste, being a time travel book set largely in late-eighteenth century London), but I think Powers' Last Call (a little bit of Steven King and a whole lot of Fisher King in modern Vegas) is his best book.Posted by Steve @ 09/26/2003 06:33 AM EST Hmmm.... thanks for the tip :)Posted by Elizabeth @ 09/26/2003 08:06 AM EST Hope you don't mind my popping in and saying hi. I was looking to see if there had been any more reviews of my latest book (a fellow writer and friend of mine wryly calls this "a vanity search")in case my publisher had missed something for the paperback. Anyway. I stumbled across your site and have been finding it very interesting.Thanks for the kind word about my reading. That was a great group at the store that night. I hope you enjoyed Anubis Gates, if you tried it out. I really do think it's a terrific book. By the way, I couldn't agree with you more about so called "women's books." Any good book transcends such labels. I used to hear this kind of nonsense when I worked at the Maine Coast Book Shop and sometimes from astute readers. A good book is a good book and if it truly is just a "woman's book" or a "man's book" I probably will go on to something else. End of rant, thank you very much. Glad to read/see agreement from an unsolicited source. Thanks again for the kind thoughts. I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Van Posted by Van Reid @ 12/01/2003 01:55 PM EST |
