News Item The First

The audiobook version of Pirates of Mars just received another positive review. The reviewer is also trying to generate some traffic, so spreading the word would be appreciated.

News Item The Second

I am not a book collector. I met such a person at Sasquan - he showed me pictures of his 40,000+ book personal library. But I do read a lot, and if one reads a lot and doesn't collect, one needs to part with books.

At some point in time, I came across BookCrossing.com. This is a site where you list your books, put a label in them, and leave them somewhere for somebody else to scoop up. I've "released into the wild" over 20 books, and today I got back news on one of them. The book was found in a giveaway basket at a thrift shop in Lund, Sweden. I released it at Argonne Labs, so apparently some researcher or student scarfed it up and took it overseas. Kind of cool.
