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 started reading Exodus when it came out and within half a chapter=20
realized I needed to reread the prior books. I did that last week (it=20
took awhile for me to get to them) and am now about halfway through=20
Exodus. I like this series much better on rereading it. I think initially=20
I was hoping for something like New Sun and was disappointed that it=20
wasn't. Now I can enjoy it for itself.

A New Sun question now that mantis is on the list:

Does anyone know the titles of all the New Sun short stories? The ones=20
I'm aware of are "The Boy Who Hooked the Sun," "Empires of Foliage and=20
Flowers" and "The Map." But I think there's at least one more.

Also mantis: is there anything beyond supplement one for the Lexicon?=20
Which is a great and useful book, BTW.
