Books

• One for the Morning Glory

  The most surprising thing about this book is its source. John Barnes is best known for writing some deeply unpleasant science fiction. This is an author whose works prompted someone on rec.arts.sf.written to devise the rule that "John Barnes books containing forcible sodomy are bad." And yet, he wrote this delightful little fantasy romp. Go figure.

  Better than the original, but mainly because of a completely wild theory of mine that is probably completely wrong.

• A Mighty Wind blows in surprising directions

  I'm not sure if A Mighty Wind hits quite as high as Spinal Tap, but it has it's own unique power as human comedy. It wouldn't surprise me to see some people eventually picking it over the Tap.

• God bless Fox

  For some years now, quite consistently ALL the most interesting new shows [other than South Park] have come from the Fox network - a trend that looks likely to continue.
