It's a good paper. Goldstone's comments are interesting, too.

1. You forgot "Personal Fulfillment The No-Limit Texas Hold 'Em Way" (Las Vegas: Fourth Street Press).
2. This list is even longer than my "Books Referenced In Conversation But Never Actually Read" list. Kudos to you and your team.

I know. It is remarkable...
Posted by: Brad DeLong on December 28, 2003 11:05 AMI assume the John Gaqrdner who wrote on Chaucer is the John Gardner of "Grendel" and those New England pastorals? "The Sunlight Dialogues" I think was his hippy masterpiece as "Lord of Light" was Zelazny's.

Posted by: dave heasman on December 29, 2003 06:37 AMWorking your way through Bujold? "A Civil Campaign" is wonderful; "Diplomatic Immunity" reads like she didn't put as much effort into it as into its predeccessors, not that its exactly bad . . .
Posted by: rea on December 29, 2003 09:21 AMAren't you afraid your head will explode if you read both Lois McMaster Bujold and Roger Zelazny during the same month?
