America's answer to Borges and Eco, at least. The book over on the right is one I finally found & bought used, though I'd read a library copy years ago. I think I'm up to roughly 20 volumes of Ellisoneana on my shelves.Cygnushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10394890573443379954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-63753090450546412.post-5840655220866324132012-06-19T11:41:19.825-06:002012-06-19T11:41:19.825-06:00Aw, Cyg! What a fantastic post! Thank you so much ...Aw, Cyg! What a fantastic post! Thank you so much for going into some detail, here. True confessions, my first exposure to Rush was when I bought 'Roll the Bones' in the early nineties. AFTER that, I began to sift through Phase One and became a solid, sold-out fan, with bumper stickers on the Prog Rock mobile (the car I've driven for the last eleven years) and at least one of Peart's memoirs on my bookshelf.<br /><br />I wonder how long it would have taken me to realize the alchemical symbol clock was dialed up to 21:12 without being clued in. :) :) <br /><br />Ah! I just looked over and saw you're reading Harlan Ellison! Far as I can tell from that thumbprint, great cover and title.Suzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07908805179119217608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-63753090450546412.post-89224841564136940872012-06-18T19:20:37.413-06:002012-06-18T19:20:37.413-06:00Thanks, Tony!

I didn't know much about Kevin Anderson (why did I think he was Poul's son?), but I admit that I'm not filled with tons of hope after <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_J_Anderson" rel="nofollow">learning a bit more...</a> Fingers crossed! :-)Cygnushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10394890573443379954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-63753090450546412.post-2934788450434941482012-06-18T13:06:56.534-06:002012-06-18T13:06:56.534-06:00I'm not terribly familiar with Rush's cata...I'm not terribly familiar with Rush's catalog, so I don't have a lot of memories to draw from, but you've done a great job of explaining their personal significance for you, especially the symbols that you went on at length about during A-to-Z. I'm on the fence as to how effective Kevin J. Anderson is about conveying the literary merits of other people's creations, but yeah, you made all of this sound pretty fascinating.Tony Laplumehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07854455859399339169noreply@blogger.com
