So it is possible to actually have a normal conversation with him. (hint) Don't give him a book. He gets these all the time, and he says he doesn't get a chance to read for pure pleasure anymore (ala the book forger in "Peace"). --- ### Jeff Wilson *20 Jan 2012, 04:46 · in reply to James Wynn* > On 1/19/2012 11:54 AM, James Wynn wrote: > On a related note, at Capricon 32 in Wheeling, IL (just outside of > Chicago), there's going to be a panel with Gene and Cory Doctorow > (excellent!): > http://www.kristine-smith.com/index.php/2012/01/capricon-schedule/ > > Ironically, Gene has not treated as a superstar at the Chicago > cons...which makes the Chicago Literary Hall of Fame event so > significant.
