May post more later, but a book (3rd in what MAY be an ongoing series, rather than what began as a single volume, then a trilogy) arrived today, and I may just stay up reading. :p

[dadaist]

13254

Because I know SOMEONE's gonna ask, here's the dust jacket:

He's back. Sir Apropos of Nothing, the best reviewed anti-hero in modern fantasy makes his triumphant return and gets a severe "Tong Lashing" [The name of the book, natch] for his troubles.

Yes, the hero who reviewers have described as "Swiftian" - Locus, "Schopenhauerian" - Kirkus and "Cyclopian" - Kirkus again - and many other big words, has survived the events in his previous outing, The Woad to Wuin, events that would have killed a lesser man. [And while I would recommend starting with book 1, Sir Apropos of Nothing if you've read neither book one or book two, book two starts off with one of the most delightedly perverted parodies of LOTR I've ever read.] Which is impressive considering it's hard to find a lesser man than Apropos: A con man, a knave, a scalawag...and those are his finer points.

This time out, Apropos finds himself out to sea...literally. Yes, our rogue knight winds up adrift in hostile waters after a "friendly" game of chance with a wizard turns ludicrously deadly. But once again Death is thwarted (or perhaps it simply wants nothing to do with him) as Apropos winds up a stranger in a strange land. A land called "Chinpan," [China+Japan - deliberate move by the author to combine elements of both] populated by people who speak a different language and live by a code of honor, neither of which Apropos can comprehend.

I'm gonna cut it short there. The rest IS posted at amazon.com.

And you can say hi to the author at his website, peterdavid.net.

[IAKaraokeGirl]

13,279~It was all fun and games until I had to get down this morning. :D

[Rosebud42]

13,280 Haven't slept in a bunkbed since I was a kid. Don't think I'd want too any more.

[IAKaraokeGirl]

13,281~The only time I'd ever slept in one was at camp, and then only in the bottom.

[Steph]

At least I won't have to do laundry for a while, I suppose.

[Steph]

13,288

Have I mentioned this was definitely Tyler's turn to do laundry?

[Steph]

Well seeing as how I'm down to the last of my socks, my remaining shirts are all too small, and I'm going commando...maybe I ought to go throw in a load of laundry myself...
