Pretty sure I've never seen any of his books in Manila. So tell us why they rock.

FYI : From the message board FAQs :

For those who don't know, hotlinking images is, for the purposes of our dicussion, "using an [img] tag to display a JPEG image you found on someone else's web page so it will appear on your forum posting." In other words it's what many of us do in every "welcome" thread, and it's bad. Hotlinking is a very bad thing because the sites you link to have limited bandwidth and have to pay for every bit of it. One website compares it to plugging an appliance into your neighbour's wall socket and taking their electricity.

How can you avoid being a bandwidth thief? It's pretty simple, really. If you find an image you want to use on the boards, only its on a website where you don't pay the rent, find a place to host it. There's www.flickr.com or www.imageark.net or www.photbucket.com . . . quite a few. They're free, and simple enough to use that I can figure them out. Really, that's pretty simple, trust me. Save your pictures there and then link to the picture at that hosting site.

If we find a hotlinked image, we will delete the image and we will take 100 points off your Karma. If you don't have 100 points of Karma yet, we'll send you a message letting you know that your picture's been removed and what you can do about it. Repeat offenses from "newbies" or regulars will lead to greater consequences.

This starts as of February 8th, 2006,

For more information, check out www.altlab.com/hotlinking.html or similar sites. Feel free to ask questions here, by PM or via e-mail.

Everyone's allowed a free pass for their first time. If it happens again, we start giving out warnings.

I'm editing your post to take out the [img] tags.

Other than that, welcome to the boards!

2003 World Fantasy Awards Ballot

winner "The Library" Zoran Zivkovic (Leviathan 3)
Seven Wild Sisters Charles de Lint (Subterranean Press)
A Year in the Linear City Paul Di Filippo (PS Publishing)
Coraline Neil Gaiman (HarperCollins)
"The Least Trumps" Elizabeth Hand (Conjunctions 39: The New Wave Fabulists)


So, ZZ beats Gaiman in 2003. Can u get a better recomendation?

A cycle of six thematically linked stories, droll renditions of the nightmares ensuing upon misplaced, or (of course) excessive, bibliophilia. A writer encounters a website where all his possible future books are on display; a lonely man faces an infinite flow of hardback books through his mailbox; an ordinary library turns by night into an archive of souls; the Devil sets about raising standards of infernal literacy; one book houses all books; a connoisseur of hardcovers strives to expel a lone paperback from his collection.



"Zivkovic is, as ever, polished, and frighteningly intelligent."
Locus, USA

"Zivkovic's unnerving gems cast the rest of the Leviathan 3 anthology into the shade..."
Washington Post, USA





Published in the USA by Ministry of Whimsy, 2002, (Leviathan 3 anthology), in Spain by Minotauro, 2004, in Portugal by Cavalo de Ferro, 2005, in Turkey by Istiklal, 2006, in the UK by PS Publishing, 2006, as a part of the mega-collection Impossible Stories, and in Denmark by Tiderne Skifter, 2006.

Aw, I'm not going to take away any of your karma points. No worries

You most certainly can... you can get an opinion from someone who's not on an award committee. Someone telling me they liked a movie is much more likely to convince me of something than the knowledge that it beat something I liked for a Best Picture award.

I gotta say... the description of the plot(s) sounds quite interesting. I'm just curious as to your thoughts on the book, beyond copying and pasting positive reviews.
