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 am part of the (now Hugo Award winning) SF Signal Podcast at SF Signal
Dot Com and on the last episode I particiapted in I was asked to suggest a
book for a "group read" and suggested the first of the Southern Reach
trilogy by VanderMeer.

(Alas, the plan was then sideswiped by real life when our host had family
issues hit him but maybe in October?)

So keep an eye out there, at some point we'll all get together and talk
about the book for an episode.
