iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

In relation to this, yes I do own original rare printings of the four book cycle, the high quality hardcover signed edition and now thanks to a birthday present, reading copies that I do not have to worry about. Also the I think rare anth collecting The Library novella story

the aforementioned books placed on a table.

It still fascinates me that when Nick Cave sings The Weeping Song, he does each side of the father/son conversation in different tonal voices.

the months pass and it will soon be time again to reread The Complete Rynosseros by Terry Dowling and to again dream of convincing at least one person I know to read all the stories as well so I will finally have someone to talk to about them. A dream dreamt for decades at this point.

Did you know The Librarian has an arch nemesis (in reality actually an X-Men villain) named The Vanisher? I usually post this comic book panel when talking about him but it is part of a full page comic spread and could be mini Librarian story in of itself.

The Vanisher in an orange scaled jumpsuit and outlandish pink cowl holds a stack of books and proclaims "I am the Vanisher and I take what books I want". A jeans jacket dude looks on in askance

Full 5 panels showing the Vanisher interacting with an African American woman librarian who wants his library card. Another guy in a jeans jacket with patches and a slouchy hat is complaining the Vanisher is taking all the book. Vanisher says his catch phrase "I am the Vanisher and I take what books I want". She says - "Not without a library card!" and in the final panel he disappears with the books in a cloud of poof and she says "Oh, no! First the Bookworm, now this!"

"A Second Cup" has arrived from the printer. Author copies and pre-order copies go in the mail tomorrow. Tiny Fork Lift and the Crew say they are excited to be back in the AaN Central warehouse unpacking books. No job is too big for Tiny Fork Lift. (aanpress.com/aanorder.htm...)

A Matchbox car fork lift and HO scale figures unpack a box of colorful books, massively out of scale for them. The team is unboxing carefully.

The library notified me I had a book waiting. Turns out it was another mystery book I don’t remember asking for and definitely not one I would have requested. I guess my mystery librarian (or The Librarian or Satchel) is sending me odd books again.

now reading because I had to put the last book on hold because I forgot the day of the next SF book club discussion and it is near. i probably last read this book 30 years ago and the character of Rachel and her sad story have stayed with me over the decades. i am back at that point in the novel now
