Happy Birthday L E Bryce!

Here's a quick poll which I'd dearly like as comprehensive answer to as possible, so please ask your friends just to pop over and tick a box?

Mass market or Trade paperback?

Only because I can stack them double height and two deep on each shelf of my bookcase...

I MUST HAVE MUCH SPACE.

But if this is for T, suggest it is 83' high, 43' wide and engraved on tablets of gold. inlaid with diamonds, and bound with dodo skin with snow leopard trim.

I have no preference - as long as the literature is good, I want it! ::grabbyhands:: Octavo, Folio, photons, papyrus, engraved in stone, doesn't matter... :)

[the-sea-to.livejournal.com]

if it is Erastes'... should be on tablets of gold. maybe platinum. And come with complimentary half naked slave boys (or fully naked) to carry it around.

I am procrastinating. So don't mind me.

[erastes.livejournal.com]

I don't know off hand what T is going to be - but it's decided anyway - they are printing "mid March" I was told this morning. and will be sending to 165 contacts. Eeeee.

You make me laugh.

[erastes.livejournal.com]

I tend to agree. I've been known to read crisp packets. Word-addiction is a dangerous thing. Why aren't there groups for it? My name is Erastes and I'm a word-aholic.

[the-sea-to.livejournal.com]

I demand slave boys.

165! OMG! you are going to take over the world. Now, practise your brashness and shilling - sell sell sell.

Mid March! Omg. That is like... 4 weeks! WOOP!

the messages on the back of loo rolls? or bleach containers?

[erastes.livejournal.com]

Yep. There is NOTHING worse than being in the loo... stuck, as it were, and finding you don't have a book. I always have books in there now... TMI?

[the-sea-to.livejournal.com]

I'll take a picture of my loo when I get home. You will see, I am one of your people.

I have everything from Saki to pratchett to lolcats there. And some Ishiguro as well at the moment. Standish was there for a while, but then I refused to leave ever, so it was moved.

TMI??

*grin*

[erastes.livejournal.com]

There should be a meme. Loo-Libraries

[the-sea-to.livejournal.com]

well that would be my f-list fucked up for a bit...

*grin*

The senses challenge is finished over at meta-writer. Was thinking of doing an exercise based on it... where i take a bit of famous literature and ask epople to describe the senses they perceive when they read it... what do you think? Could be itneresting.

*dances randomly*

Yes. Loo-Meme. :) We take over the next one bog at a time!

[erastes.livejournal.com]

Think that's a good idea! Sorry I didn't comment for the last two!

[the-sea-to.livejournal.com]

cool. going to select some literature from guttenberg... lovely to have public domain lit at fingertips :)

And don't worry - it was supposed to be fun, not an obligation :)

*husg*

I prefer the mass market size, but in all honesty, I'm just happy to have it in print form.

[lusiology.livejournal.com]

I hadn't really thought about it before. If I want a book I buy it, whatever the size. I have a mix of both on my book shelves, but I will say that mass market is easier to hold and the whole page easier to see through a pair of glasses. Given a choice, regardless of price I prefer hard back.

[sleveen.livejournal.com]

MMmmmm, yesssssssssss....naked slave boys, their bodies oiled to perfection... *sigh*

What a lovely warming thought in the middle of a Newfoundland blizzard. :-)

[sleveen.livejournal.com]

...backs of cereal boxes, tins, magazines in other languages, languages I don't necessarily read... :)

[the-sea-to.livejournal.com]

And here I was complaining because the sky is grey...

You must have seen the Dieux du stade? If not google it. Should be very... warming.

*grin*

[sleveen.livejournal.com]

I have not seen the Dieux de stade! Please, Google away! :)

Yes, this blizzard started around 3 this morning and is expected to last till tomorrow noon. :)

this should help.

[sleveen.livejournal.com]

Sacre nom de Dieu!!!!
Wow. Yes. That definitely helped. In fact, I think a tropical depression is now forming off the coast... :-)

[the-sea-to.livejournal.com]

It is kind of them to show in great great detail what rugby does to the physique. Very... informative.

I get the calendar every year.

I've got the gay priests one coming from Rome too. Squeeful.

Calendars are essential. For deadlines and .. stuff. Yes. Nod.

[sleveen.livejournal.com]

Yes, it's good that they are so interested in the...education of others... :) Anatomy is one of my favourite subjects... :)

[the-sea-to.livejournal.com]

mine too! how amazing the things perverts people have in common!
