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 would recommend highly to any Wolfe fan who hasn't already read them
_Engine Summer_, _Little, Big_, _Aegypt_, _Love and Sleep_, and "Great
Work of Time" (in the collection _Novelty_, and also published separately
IIRC) by John Crowley.  But be warned that _Aegypt_ and _Love and Sleep_
are the first two parts of a tetralogy (though IMO _Aegypt_ can be read
perfectly well as a standalone novel).

I'd also recommend _Through the Heart_ by Richard Grant.  (Has anyone read
his two more recent novels?  I've never seen _Tex and Molly_ in a library,
and his latest didn't look that appealing to me.
