Hi,
At the risk of going completely off topic, let me just add a couple more
Crowley comments.

What is Crowley's latest - on a recent search for Crowley stuff on the
Web I came across the title 'Daemonology' as being the third part of
AEgypt - do you mean that (I'd assumed it wasn't finished yet)?

The URL is www.tezcat.com/~josephb/lit/crowley/index.html if you were
wondering.

Lasrach again:

I suspect there are quite a few Crowley fans on this list - we'll see.

btw, Mantis, you forgot about Novelty - which includes GWOT, and three
other stories. Two of them, 'In Blue', and 'Novelty' (which seems to be
the infundibular version of AEgypt) are great favourites of mine. 
I'd put AEgypt at the top of my list, then Little, Big, then Engine
Summer.

Cheers,
