This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

I really enjoyed the two novels I have read by Gene Wolfe that take place
in "our" world, where magical elements may or may not be bleeding in (Peace
and The Sorcerer's House).  I am going to get to his others soon, like
Castleview and Pandora by Holly Hollander.  I was wondering if anyone had
read Charles de Lint, and if they would recommend his books.  Are they
along the same lines as the two Wolfe books I mentioned, as to the "type"
of story?  Is he a good writer, or not worth the time?  I was intrigued by
several of his books on a recent bookstore outing, and might pick them up
if he is worth it.  Thanks!
