jazzfishIt turns out I do have an exception to my PUB ORDER DAMMIT rule. Michael Moorcock's Elric books should be read in internal-chronological order, to the best that anyone can determine what the heck that is anyway. I assume I feel this way because that's how I discovered them, in six slim silver paperbacks with Michael Whelan covers in the school library. Later additions (Fortress of the Pearl and Revenge of the Rose) can be inserted at the appropriate point. I haven't read the early-2000s trilogy but I'd assume it can be shoved in as well.
This update brought to you by the discovery that Moorcock is releasing new omnibuses of the Elric books, including a brand-new novel. I am slightly tempted but only slightly. I last read these over twenty years ago and suspect the Suck Fairy has been hard at work on them.
Thankful?
I'm thankful for Rainbow House for inviting me to a meal yesterday. Thankful for these past six (!) years with Erin, which among many other things gave me the ability to make a cinnamon creme pie with relatively little stress.
(Also, you know, the whole "support while learning to be a less codependent human being" thing. That's been invaluable, and I am more grateful for it than I know how to say.)
For Canadian citizenship and gainful employment (for now at least), which combined mean I can at least in theory get weird medical things checked out.
For gorgeous if slightly too warm fall weather, for biking in crisp air over crisp leaves. For books and tea. For Corvaric. It's been a rough landing indeed and it's not over yet... but it is a landing.
I'm thankful that I'm finding myself again, enough to write this post anyway.
