We are liquidating a huge collection of science fiction paperbacks from the 1960s-2000s.
We'll be listing them for sale as we are able to sort and pack them. Each list will contain about a hundred parcels. Each parcel will be about two inches thick* and will contain between between two and five volumes, all by the same author.
These books are not collectibles. We do not make any guarantees about condition, except that they have all of their pages and are readable. At least once.
Each parcel will come to you by mail, postage paid, for $6.00 U.S. (through PayPal).
If you live in Oregon's mid-Valley area, we may be able to arrange delivery at a lower price.
-- The Inchworms, aka John and Kathe
*So okay, it would be more accurate if we called it "Books by the Two Inches", or to be more SFnal, "Books By the 5cm Block", but do either of those sound as smooth as "Books By The Inch"?

We also have about a cubit of David Weber books, but since they average well over an inch apiece, it’s not really possible to tie them into two-inch bundles. Write and ask, and we will make a special arrangement if you want a few inches of Weber.

Feminist Graphic Novels
I'm writing to say that Kathe and I have both finished Bitch Planet Volume 1, and will be returning it tomorrow.
In the meantime, I must tell you that neither Kathe nor I liked it very much. We agreed that it covered ground better tilled by novels like The Handmaid's Tale* and Native Tongues**.
Kathe asked me to come up with a list of better feminist graphic novels, especially ones which depicted a horrific patriarchal dystopia. I couldn't find that exact thing (unless you would count the Sid Jacobson/Ernie Colon adaptation of the diary of Anne Frank: http://www.amightygirl.com/anne-frank-graphic-novel
or Marzi:
or Lili Renee:
or maybe Rosa Parks:
and there's a case to be made for The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/888169.Triangle_Shirtwaist_Factory_Fire), but here are some graphic novels that have come recommended by various people. Some I have read, some I have not, some which the GNBC has read:
Ody-C tries a different approach to undermining patriarchy, reversing the genders in one of the most influential patriarchalist documents, The Odyssey (which some have claimed was written by a woman):
-- John M. Burt
(BTW: A graphic novel of THT is coming soon: http://groupthink.kinja.com/the-handmaids-tale-graphic-novel-1630506060).

Review: "The Initiates", by Etienne Davodeau
This is my review of The Initiates, as seen also at Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/880110337
There are obvious parallels between making graphic novels (writing, drawing, printing and distributing to readers) and making wine (raising, fermenting, bottling and distributing to drinkers): Each is a job that can be easily misunderstood. Each is a form of art which many people fail to recognize as art. Each is practiced by an assortment of masters, mediocrities and eccentrics not even their peers can understand. Each has its own arcane practices and occult jargon, incomprehensible to the uninitiated.
There are obvious parallels between reading graphic novels and drinking wine: Some people enjoy them in prudent moderation, while others become obsessives who allow something meant to enrich their lives to take over their lives. Some people despise anyone who has anything to do with them (using, respectively, the slurs "subliterate" and "drunkard").
Etienne Davodeau and Richard Leroy don't really "exchange jobs", as the subtitle claims. Rather, they exchange insights into their jobs: Etienne shows Richard his drafting tools and takes him to the editorial offices and the printing press where his unique art is turned into a mass product. Richard puts Etienne to work pruning vines and draws samples from his barrels to show him how fermenting wine progresses towards the form in which it will be bottled.
Richard offers Etienne tastes of Poulsards and Chardonnays, while Etienne showers Richard with Art Spiegelman and Alan Moore.
I'm amused by the fact that the English title, "The Initiates" stands opposite to the original French title, "Les Ignorants", but at the same time, the underlying principle is the same. Rather the way that the English word "mammal" compares with its German equivalent, Säugetier. The one means "milk-producer", while the other means "milk-drinker". Etienne and Richard both nourish, and they both are nourished. Reading this book, you will be nourished.
//The Magic Eight-Ball says, "It will be up to you to nourish others with your own talent and labor."\\

Christmas Truce Poem
Not long after I finished The Christmas Mutiny, I met a woman writing poems "to order" at the Saturday Market. I commissioned a poem on the subject of the Christmas Truce, but then didn't see her for several months. I learned later she had been out of town most of the time.
Yesterday, she was at the market again, spotted me and delivered the poem. I like it a lot:
The Christmas Truce, by Cassie Ruud
We will not fight today.
We will not let you order us
into these pukish
mud-blood-soaked trenches
on this day.
You took us from our families,
from the arms of our wives and children
and thrown us against each other
for reasons
we do not understand.
So we will not fight today.
We will stand a tree,
sing our songs,
play soccer out in No-Man's-Land
almost far enough away
to hide from the trench stench
We will pretend our darlings
are close to us, show
each other pocketed lockets
full of pictures,
smoke our pipes in silence and stare numbly into the fire.
//The Magic Eight-Ball says, "Peace on Earth."\\

Do You Read Me?
Read from The Christmas Mutiny at the Interzone tonight. Not a big crowd but I managed to read a chapter out loud without choking, so I count it as a success.
Now on to the next reading. Eight-Ball, where will I do a reading next?

Shoot-'Em-Ups
I have finally noticed that I read comics in two modes: one for Persepolis and Vogelein, and another for Birds of Prey and 52. The latter serve for me the function Ace Double Novels did for my father (what he referred to as "shoot-'em-ups"). I think other people establish these categories early in life, often discarding one or the other entirely. Not sure what that means, either the division or the timing, but it's something I have noticed.

GoodBlogs
I am trying something new, called GoodBlogs.
http://www.goodblogs.com/bloggers/6565
I don't know whether this "get votes and be paid money" thing really works, but I am willing to give it a try.
Also, it's been years since I wrote reviews of the things I read, but I find I still enjoy it.
//The Magic Eight-Ball says, "Try it and see."\\

The Salmon Cage
I have just published a story of mine on Amazon.com for the first time:
http://www.amazon.com/The-Salmon-Cage-ebook/dp/B005BCP7L4/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1310151380&sr=8-2
I am hopeful for the story. I think it's a good one. Of course, that is no guarantee that anyone will be interested in it, or even know that it exists.
But, as I say, I am hopeful.

The Mysterious Island
Kathe and I have been watching a lot of videos from the library lately. We saw a Ray Harryhausen film awhile back, and she mentioned that she hadn't seen most of them, so I reserved all of them that the library had.
The most recent one was The Mysterious Island, and that reminded me of just how many film versions of it there have been, and how many extraneous elements each of them have had: giant crabs, a feral child, cultures of aquatic humanoids, Caribbean pirates of the 1600s in the western Pacific of the 1860s, a rival in his own submarine, an oddball tie-in with a totally different Verne novel and so on.
I suppose it's the result of the book's being a sequel to 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, one of the most famous books of all time (even in English, where it has suffered from some very poor translations), but isn't anywhere like as colorful or bombastic.
Still, invaders from Mercury...?

Someone At The Door
Kathe and I saw someone on our porch the other day. We were pleased, because although the "front porch book sale" has never been a hot performer, it's been extrememly inactive lately.
The person turned out to have lived in Corvallis years ago, to have passed our house often though she'd never met the people who lived there. This is fairly common, actually -- in fact, when Kathe's daughter Becca first invited me over, one of the first things I said was, "Oh, you live here!"
In fact, this person had once spent a rainy homeless night dozing under our cedar tree where it overhung the sidewalk.
She'd gotten into town the night before and been obliged to walk the streets all night.
Naturally, we offered to let her sleep here.
It's good to have someone else in the house, even for a little while. This place is obviously made for more than just two people.

An Icre of Scized Sardels
[Recycled from 07:18, 17 March 2005 and from 10 October 2005, and from 21 March 2009, with new links added on 28 February 2010]
When I have the time, I like to haul The Oxford Dictionary of the English Language up here to the lookout tower and pore over its pages. It's a truly monumental work, its twenty volumes containing some three-quarter of a million words. However, it does not accept just any word. From time to time, some dictionaries have included words based on handwriting errors, incorrect interpretation of a foreign phrase or other misunderstandings. These rejected words are listed in an appendix, from which this partial list was extracted:
Dog-ray: A type of sea life
Compearer: A person not a party to a lawsuit who wishes to oppose the suit, and is approved by the judge to take part.
Exidemic: Synonym for epidemic (but doesn’t it sound like it might mean something beyond a mere epidemic?
Galverly: Energetically.
Goffish: Silly.
Gosting: The rose madder herb [John's suggested alternate definition: a color like unto rose madder].
Graduction: Marking with graduations.
Grout: Wild apple.
Guay: An unbridled horse.
Habenry: Some sort of decoration of the roof or eaves of a house.
Herebote: A military messenger.
Icre: A group of ten [John's observation: potentially a very useful word].
Investive: Enclosing.
Minutal: Diminutive.
Momblishness: Mumbling.
Munity: Freedom.
Phantomnation: An immaterial apparition.
Quadrune: A type of sandstone.
Sardel: A precious stone, apparently salmon-colored [John's suggested definition: a color close to salmon, somewhere between orange and pink].
Scize: To cut or penetrate.
Tendsome: Requiring much attention.
At the end of the appendix was a further list of rejected words with no definitions or explanations appended, including: abacot, cluttish, cone and key, congrument, cookmate, counterset, eposculation, lastery, papescent, segnotic, tip-cheese and topinch.
Naturally, I responded to this list of words which do not exist with a hearty, “Oh, yeah?”
I was instantly fascinated by the idea of rejected words, and resolved to start using them whenever a convenient opportunity arises, and I invite my readers to do the same.
If we all start using words like “gosting” and “munity”, just once in awhile, soon they’ll be getting hits on Google, being included in dictionaries, and will have been brought to life and legitimacy at last.

See(k)ing Egre(t)s(s)
One of the benefits of the work I have been doing helping my mother look after my father has been increased opportunities to drive along Highway 99W between Corvallis and Bellfountain. It's really some very nice country.
I like driving past the Winkle Buttes. I like seeing the hills which are surmounted by the Mysterious Big White Thing. I like seeing the occasional wildlife, including deer, Great Blue Herons and Snowy Egrets and occasional life-forms that I can't identify ("What's brown and long-legged and weighs about 100 pounds and doesn't seem to be a deer?" "I don't know." "Me neither").
The other day, I saw a largish gathering of egrets (I don't know whether they flock, ever, or if it was just a dense accumulation of egrets at a strangely attractive swampy patch). This inspired a train of thought that ran through many different regions, including Robert Heinlein's novel The Door Into Summer, and the thought that Professor Kirk's famous wardrobe must surely be a snowy egress.

365 New Superheroes -- Honest!
A couple of years ago, I grandly announced at a purpose-built blog that I was going to create 365 new superheroes over the course of a year.
Considering that time was I tossed off a dozen or more in a single letter composed in an idle afternoon, I thought I could keep to an average of one a day without a lot of trouble.
Well, quite possibly I could have, but I didn't. I posted in fits and spurts, and eventually stopped posting at all.
So, I'm starting over again, as of today, 8 May 2008. Go to my blog and see how I'm doing.
