    Steve, after being alerted of potentially apocalypctic weather conditions: "Food? Water? Other essentials? No... I must visit the Brattle!"

    Great issue of Savage Sword (and Saga)! You found Epic at the Brattle? Score.

    Talk about a blast from the past! At one season of my life I swallowed Victoria Holt books in great gulps. Phyllis Whitney, Mary Stewart, and, um-Helen McInnes for some extra suspense. I was so young then…

      Well, you literally can't go wrong adding Helen McInnes to any mix ...

    re Howells; Library of America publishes a two edition collection. That's something!

    Hi Steve, I just filmed my video on my list of books I was thinking about reading in the next two months, and I noticed one of my books was blurred by you. I don't know if you even remember the book, but it's called The Revolution of Marina M. by Janet Fitch.

    Your comments about Dover Books reminded me that in 1979 I picked up their edition of Anson’s voyage around the world and I was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed it.

    What an assortment! & how perspicacious of you to stock up in case a deluge of a water drop should hit. ps- I love that Berberova book. Would have been my find of the day hands down...with the Bertrice Small HC resplendent in 2nd place.

    This incoming storm could be like the one we "got" last month, when we were told to expect a foot of snow, and we ended up getting zippity-do-dah-day. Still, I borrowed three new-to-me books from our local public library today. Just in case.

    Take a Girl Like You is one of Amis' more serious things. I also remember hearing you say you like Jake's Thing.

    My mother noticed a random loose female (alien?) breast in a copy of Epic Magazine and absolutely forbid me to ever read it again.
    Hence it became my life's mission to round up every issue of Epic I could...

      There are all kinds of random alien breasts in this issue! Heck, the Silver Surfer's got a glossy pair of 'em!
