Tales of the Dying Earth
I live in a place where we have to drive 90 minutes to get to a real bookstore (Borders in Eureka). Amazon will only get you so far; sometimes a guy has gotta browse. This last Sunday, I picked up Jack Vance’s Tales of the Dying Earth: all four novels in the series are now available in one volume.
I found a nice bio on Vance here at Answers.Com. Vance is my hero: 88 years old and still chugging out novels. Can’t get much better. Here’s a link to his latest, Lurulu.
At least, I think it’s his latest. This guy stays busy.
