None of the books I want to read have been written.
I need a good fantasy novel, or a good vampire novel, or even just those creepy weird Tanith Lee books I used to have.

There's a fourteen hour Law & Order marathon showing on Labor Day. Rock on.

some consider him science fiction, although he reads like a novel -- very well researched and carefully constructed realism, with just one twist of something extra -- a one proposed "what-if" per story. the result is an alternate reality that is so familiar one can't help but make it their own.

my favorites, so far: "The Story of Your Life", "72 Letters", "Understand", and "The Tower of Babylon".
