A weird side effect of listening to everything on the iPod set to shuffle is that I don’t think I have a favorite album of 2006. I need to think more, but nothing stands out as an ‘album’. BTW, what were Microsoft thinking calling an .mp3 player a ‘Zune’? I mean, zune? And in brown…
Best two books of 2007 so far: Un Lun Dun by China Mieville and Flora Segunda by Ysabeau Wilce. Both terrific, both YA.
I have never discovered you, even in a grumpy moment, having a questionable opinion about SF&F (which, of course, just means all our biases must be similar). Who knew that your opinions about electronic devices were so wildly unreliable? I love the brown Zune. (Of course, that surely means that you think MY opinions about electronic devices are . . . er . . . divergent.) Too busy to argue pointlessly, though, as I obviously must go preorder more books, based on your recommendations, which are never wrong.
Susan: I can see why you’d agree with my astounding critical taste, but you got a Zune? Really? You’re a zuner? I thought only Jimmy ZapWow would. Gosh.
We call ourselves “zunies” around here, stranger-from-another-continent.
I’m about 100 pages from the end of UN LUN DUN and like it alot as well. A pet milk carton? Smoglodytes? This one is lots of fun.
