How else could you do your social positioning and let everyone know how well-read you are, and show how you don't respect me, and what an idiot I am? Any kind of direct response I get from you is generally like this. You're more formulaic than Coupland. I didn't see CRYPTONOMICON (I don't follow what is best-selling, and what is not) on the website I visited with his works listed (so yeah, I tried to do my homework, but I know how much you like to show how uninformed/unintelligent I am, don't you darling?). It simply wasn't there. Didn't know of the genre jumping either, obviously. The guy I talked with at work made it sound like he was a Science Fiction writer, but maybe that's all he read by him (you know how hard it can be for some of us Mcjobbers to even read ANYTHING...fortunately there a BIG pictures on everything with diagrams to help us out). It's good he can do more than one genre. It means he's not a one trick pony. Yes, I love to read shit, Stewart. I love the sweet release of inflicting pain on myself.

Zevon's more than three-decades long career began with ``Wanted Dead or Alive'' in 1969. His 1976 album, ``Warren Zevon,'' produced by Jackson Browne, won critical praise, and his career soared with 1978's ``Excitable Boy,'' featuring the single ``Werewolves of London,'' which became his signature song. He ended a five-year recording absence in 2000 with ``Life'll Kill Ya.'' Spokeswoman Diana Baron said Zevon, who was told of the diagnosis by doctors last month, is spending time with his grown children, as well as writing and recording. He'll be in the recording studio next week, she said. Rhino Records will release ``Genius: The Best of Warren Zevon'' on Oct. 15. Zevon's most recent album, ``My Ride's Here,'' released this year, features contributions from Irish poet Paul Muldoon, journalist Hunter S. Thompson and author Carl Hiaasen, as well as a cameo from talk-show host David Letterman. - ----- Michael Zwirn mzwirn@wildsalmoncenter.org Policy Analyst, The Wild Salmon Center http://www.wildsalmoncenter.org tel: 503/222-1804 fax: 503/222-1805 cell: 503/887-9800 ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 12 Sep 2002 14:01:49 -0400 (EDT) From: dmw Subject: Re: [loud-fans] game theory book On Thu, 12 Sep 2002 dana-boy@juno.com wrote: > http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=906350058 > > BTW, the seller has some other interesting auctions going on. does anybody care to weigh in on the merits (or lack thereof) of the embarrassment live disc? i almost nabbed it this past weekend, but it looked awfully heavy on covers. i'm very sad to hear about mr. zevon, but not sad enough to retroactively start likely the last three lame records. i may pull my review of "my ride's here" before it runs, though. - -- d. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 12 Sep 2002 11:08:56 -0700 From: Tim_Walters@digidesign.com Subject: Re: [loud-fans] Stephenson questions SNOW CRASH basically goes like this: 1. Funny near-future satire that skewers a lot of cyberpunk cliches 2. Fifty-page infodump about science fictional events in ancient Sumeria 3. Overlong, overviolent, fairly lame thriller that wallows in a lot of the same cliches the first part skewered THE BIG U is rather similar, but substitute "college fiction" for cyberpunk, skip most of part 2, and vastly shorten and improve part 3. It's much more coherent and less first-novelish than SNOW CRASH, to my way of thinking. I'm quite annoyed that I loaned this out ages ago and never got it back, because now I see it selling for $150 and up. ZODIAC is lots of fun, except for the intermittent insufferability of the protagonist. THE DIAMOND AGE, unlike SNOW CRASH, actually works as science fiction, and is quite enjoyable, if overlong. I haven't read CRYPTONOMICON or INTERFACE. To this science fiction fan, Stephenson seems worthwhile, but overrated--certainly not something I would hand someone as an introduction to SF. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 12 Sep 2002 14:13:11 -0400 From: Stewart Mason Subject: Re: [loud-fans] game theory book At 02:01 PM 9/12/2002 -0400, dmw wrote: >i'm very sad to hear about mr. zevon, but not sad enough to retroactively >start likely the last three lame records. i may pull my review of "my >ride's here" before it runs, though.

You will learn lots of things that are true (in a historical or scientific sense), be intrigued by several more things that may or may not be true, and be flat-out entertained by lots of things that aren't. All the while, you will thrill to the exploits of characters historic and fictional (Bobby Shaftoe is about my favorite fictional character of the last several years), and bathe in the flow of a truly neat and well-told story. Disagree completely about my homeboy, Douglas Coupland. However, it's probably safe to say that if you enjoy him, you'll like Necronomicon.
