It is the "age of chaos." Time marches to its own arrhythmia while a
vague North American war rages among Islamists, Chinese rationalists and
"occupied Albuquerque." Musical water snakes glow and hum. Buildings
sicken and sometimes die, diagnosed by a doctor who senses their ills.
Reality consists of overlapping dimensions, or maybe it's all loosely
connected dreamscapes in which fathers are absent and relationships
between mothers and their children are ruptured.

Erickson's latest novel, "Our Ecstatic Days," a rambling hallucination
in which the top floors of the hotel, renamed Chateau X and shifted
southward a bit, become a man-made island in the middle of a
geology-defying lake that floods the L.A. Basin from a birth canal
partway up Laurel Canyon.

I care.

I jump at the opportunity for a good book.

For instance, last night, I found out about a book called "Surely you're
joking, Mr Feynman." about 20 minutes before Borders closed. So I jumped
in my car and made it just in the nick of time. Phew!

Well, actually i just saw 'age of chaos' and thought a fanfic was
published and good enough to get a mention in the LA times. Then I read
about it, and the guy sounds like an interesting 'alternative history'
as well. Although this one is in the future, IIRC

I'm sure you are now.

"Half asleep you" bears a remarkable similarity to "wide awake you".
And other various things I won't mention in order to maintain the
illusion of civilized discussion.
