I've got some linkspam in my email, but I'm too tired to actually collate it tonight. I did like this, though--Time Magazine's All-Time 100 Novels. I am deeply impressed that books as disparate as Neuromancer, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, The Blind Assassin, Lolita, Watchmen (yes, the Alan Moore graphic novel) and Are You There, God? It's Me, Margaret made the list.

Speaking of books, my own arrived today--finally. True to my editor's word, it did turn out quite thick--maybe two inches? It looks purty, and not quite real. I also posted the Titanic icons at m15m; tomorrow will be the Star Wars icons, although I'll be working around class and Lost. I'm hearing that there'll be two weeks of repeats after tomorrow's, so I'm hoping I can catch up on recaps then. I've just given up on trying to promise them any sooner than that, anxieties being what they are right now. I've got some Lemon Zinger on the brew; I'm going to take that with me and have a long soak in the tub.

(Must remember to bake gingerbread for class tomorrow.)

Oh, and the new Lemony Snicket came out today! Crap, I have to get my hands on that. I can't even remember if I pre-ordered it off Amazon already or not.

*throws confetti* YAY FOR CLEO!!

The new Lemony came one?! Damn, I need to catch up with those. I read number four and then broke my bank account and couldn't justify paying for them all in hardback anymore. And of course, the neurotic inside won't let me try to find the paperbacks if I 1-4 in hardback.

Are You There, God? It's Me, Margaret???? Seriously?

[spectralbovine.livejournal.com]

Holy crappity, you've held your own book in your hands! That is beyond awesome.

[guinevere33.livejournal.com]

Sweet - "Wide Sargasso Sea" made the list! God bless the high school English teacher who assigned that along with "Jane Eyre".

I have now watched Lost up to where your recaps end. There are no more recaps! I am so saaaaaaaaaaaaaaad!

I've got some Lemon Zinger on the brew; I'm going to take that with me and have a long soak in the tub.

Praise for the Lemon Zinger. I drink pots of the stuff with lemon juice (redundant, isn't it?) and honey when I'm ill (like now). Today I drank eight cups... before lunch.

We love your writing, and we won't stop on Thursday or Friday or Saturday. Or even Sunday. I left you a comment on SF, btw-- I hope you feel better soon, although I guess the only thing that will really make a difference is publication.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmgingerbread.

Oooh, Never Let Me Go is on the list.

I just finished it, and really liked it, although it creeped the hell out of me.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

I'm going to try to catch up!

By the way, when is your book coming out? Or has it already?

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Man, I used to drink that stuff by the pot in college.

[outinthestorm.livejournal.com]

There is a new Lemony Snicket? Where have I been that I missed that?

[mandy0x.livejournal.com]

It must be so cool to hold your own book in your hands. :)

Btw:
My SJC order finally came, and you're right, they're reaally small.

[t4-flirt.livejournal.com]

congrats once again on the book!

mmmm. gingerbread.

[miss-lithi.livejournal.com]

Congratulations!

Lolita made the list? Damn, I'm impressed. Not that it's not a good book but how some prudes out there would even want to acknowledge a novel about a middle-aged dude getting it on with a 12 year old girl.

[rachelmanija.livejournal.com]

Oh, good. Come back to Sayidistan...

As for my book, it is out!

Ah so many great books are missing, inevitably.
I've read quite a few of those, which is neat. I think Handmaid's Tale should be there instead of Blind Assassin, or even Alias Grace.

Congratulations! C'mon, let's see a photo of the author holding her baby. ^__^ Pleeease?

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Awesome! I haven't been reading my friends list the way I should for a while now, so I wasn't sure.

[bunnymonkey.livejournal.com]

Eeeeeeee, so exciting! I am doing a little dance of joy for you.

Sorry I've been so awful about email lately. I am going mad up here and OH MY GOD WHAT IS THAT SMELL? MY ROOMMATE'S FUCKING CAT IS ABOUT TO DIE!

Ahem, sorry. Yay, book!

(JESUS)

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Aww, don't worry about it. And you'd be proud--I managed not to freak out in the entry proper about the factual error on THE INSIDE FLAP OF THE BOOK COVER REGARDING THE PREMISE OF THE BOOK. Really, I'm totally okay about it.

[edda.livejournal.com]

Oh, but that looks good.

[edda.livejournal.com]

Oh, dear.

*pats your forehead with cool damp cloth*

Don't worry, assassins are cheaper than they used to be.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Well, it was "of the last thirty years" instead of "the last ten." I mean, at least it was a real mistake and not just an unsightly, pointless typo.

[luna-incognita.livejournal.com]

Yay. White Teeth by Zadie Smith made the list. I'm sooo happyyyy!!!

And yay, to your book. I really can't wait till the 20th when I get it. Or it may be after that, I do have exams...*sigh*
