After reading it, I've still got a lot more questions than answers. I can't wait for people who are smarter than me to get the book and start discussing it. In the meantime, I promise to keep my mouth shut, difficult as that may be. Yves Meynard (yes, I'm gloating) *This is WHORL, for discussion of Gene Wolfe's Book of the Long Sun. --- ### Nicholas Gevers *09 Jun 2000, 23:53 · follows Yves Meynard* I'm another of the fortunate (or damnable) few, and I'm also eager to begin the discussion. In the dwindling meantime, let me ask you this, Yves: do you now know why there was no guard at the Citadel gate in Chapter I of THE SHADOW OF THE TORTURER? > --- Yves Meynard wrote: > Anybody else out there got hold of an advance copy > of _In Green's Jungles_? > After reading it, I've still got a lot more > questions than answers.

That really isn't enough. Have others put in advance orders? What is the critical mass when we can start talking? -alga *This is WHORL, for discussion of Gene Wolfe's Book of the Long Sun. --- ### William Ansley *11 Jun 2000, 22:14 · follows Alice Turner* > At 8:44 AM +0100 6/11/00, David Langford wrote: > I reviewed it from a Tor proof a couple of months back -- the review is > due out in the British SF Association's =Vector= but I'll post it here > with lots of (mostly unnecessary, I hope) spoiler space if that's OK with > the list members. I have no desire to see your review (or any) before I read the book, but, as long as you clearly mark it in the subject header I can skip it and save it for later, so post away. > At 9:33 AM -0400 6/11/00, Alice Turner wrote: > I think there are six of us.

As far as I am concerned, as long as a suitable label (such as "IGJ Spoilers") is in the subject header of *all* the messages that make up this discussion and it is restricted to the Whorl list, then the discussion can begin right now. I will just save the messages until after I have a chance to read the book (I did this with OBW). Have fun, you lucky skunks (as Gary Larson of Far Side fame would say).
