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.

[Posted from WHORL, the mailing list for Gene Wolfe's Book of the Long Sun]

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 had thought that Crowley was as coterie (more so, perhaps) than Wolfe.
>Delighted to discover my misapprehension.
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.=20
I'd put AEgypt at the top of my list, then Little, Big, then Engine
Summer.

Cheers,
