OK, let's settle this. PALE FIRE is a masterpiece. The SUN books aren't Fanfic. Jesus is either God or not. The Gospels are either history or not. "Sirius" is a pun on "serious." I think. There is a very large amusement park outside my present lodgings. Rave On, you crazy Lupes. Patrick O'Leary *This is WHORL, for discussion of Gene Wolfe's Book of the Long Sun.

I'll happily stipulate that you know what you think and what is outside your present lodgings.
