scottobearThis is the best thing I've read in a newspaper in a very long time.
tonight's read - The Anubis Gates by Tim Powers... pulled it out, rearranging my books... I really enjoy Tim Powers' stuff, good mental popcorn, and a nice writing style. I mean, how can you not like this cover text:
"An ancient Egyptian sorcerer whose powerful magic can change the history of the entire world!
A modern millionaire with a sinister plan who journeys back to England in 1810!
A werewolf who switches bodies - then kills his victims to keep his identity a secret!
A hideously deformed clown of crime who performs grotesque experiments on his victims!
A brainwashed Lord Byron - programmed to kill King George!
A young woman disguised as a boy, hunting the thing that killed her lover!
And our hero, Professor Brendan Doyle, who has no idea what he is getting into when he agrees to give a lecture on Samuel Taylor Coleridge..."
Off to powder my brain. :)
