Sweet! I want a Dune slingsack back pack!

I thought the event at Book Revue was going to be at 3PM... On another note, I kinda hoped to get them to sign something, but I can't think of anything that wouldn't be sacrilegious.

That's why I had him sign Road to Dune.

Thanks for the suggestion, FreakZ.

The true value of the Herbert name.

Rock bottom at last.

Yeah, I believe the only reason they claim the books are co-written is so they can be on the shelf next to the originals.

It might be OK to keep your dope parephenalia in.

I kinda like the simplicity.

The title with just their names ... kinda implies THEY are the winds of Dune ... the two windy things ... full of hot air.

Then it would have to have been called "The Blow of Dune"

So...is that thing for hiking with drugs?

More fun at the bookstore!

After altering the Winds of Dune display at the local B&N (sadly, those images came out too crappy to post; you've got to stand still as a statue to shoot with the iPhone's useless camera), I jammed upstairs to pick up my new, 100-percent Kevin J. Anderson-free version of Dean Koontz's Frankenstein (as discussed in another thread which I can't find at the moment).

And look, there it is in glorious color: lots of Koontz, lots of Frankenstein ... and no Hackerson at all! As the shirt says: "Woot!"



The guilt-free re-reading begins tonight. I've got it in Koontz's own words: he basically took TheKJA's draft, ignored it, and wrote his own book.

Today is a good day.

Nice one!

(and the thread is here).

HBJ

Wow, does Koontz just plain dismiss TheKJA, or what?

A short paragraph with plenty of read-between-the-lines potential, and that is it! He doesn't even mention Hacky by name.

See ya, Keith!

That is so Junior High

Is this what kja sent you over here for? I'm not sure he'd be so impressed. Maybe we should ask him?

Do you think he really cares about you guys?

Give me a break

If he didn't why would he send his special people across the internet? He cares and so do the publishers and so do you.

redbugpest wrote:Do you think he really cares about you guys?

Cares? No.

Afraid? Hell yes...

redbugpest wrote:Do you think he really cares about you guys?

Oh, he cares deeply, genius. You'd realize that if you weren't dead above the neck.

I've never seen an author who is so hyper-aware of the criticism leveled against him ... and who is so quick to respond with insults and feigned indifference. It's the very definition of pathetic, considering this is an alleged adult we're talking about.

He's a late-40s man-child who likes to go pew! pew! pew!-pew!-pew! And who gets his widdle feewings huwt if not everybody loves him. Sound familiar?

redbugpest wrote:Do you think he really cares about you guys?

He cares pretty deeply. Secretly he wishes that he could change our minds. Hmmm. Maybe that's why he doesn't really care about you. Youve already succumbed to him.

So "junior high"? "Do you think he cares?"

Oh, come on ... that's just not fair.

Messing with bookstore displays is at least lower-level high school.

I just wish there was a symbol that one could accidentally leave when one accidentally rearranges an author out of a certain section of a bookstore. A sign, a calling card to let those who know their sietches that this is Jacurutu territory.

Also we ever discuss that Jacurutu is the name of a river in Brazil?

We discussed that it was a town, don't know if the town is on the river.

I think both Lisan and Carlos have mentioned it (and/or a town?) in the past, either here or on other sites (Arrakeen? DN?).

(Ack! Beat to the punch by da Thang! )

A Jacurutu symbol you could print out on little slips of paper (like bookmarks?) and leave in the pages ... I like it.
