In related news, Neil Gaiman's Stardust novel is about to be made into a movie, courtesy of Warner Bros. ;_; I hope they make Tristan handsome.

According to IMDB, Tristan will be played by Charlie Cox who I've never heard of, but judging from the couple of photos there he does look like he would make an adequate Tristan. I'm more excited about Claire Danes for Yvaine though. I really couldn't imagine a better choice. rclxub.gif


EDIT : Not only is Robert Jordan old, he has also been diagnosed with a rare blood disease that requires chemotherapy treatment. Looks like the odds are against you Wheel of Time readers!

Neil Gaiman had a book signing tour in Singapore, Australia and maybe several other Asian countries not too long ago. It might have been this year... or was it last year? Sorry, excuse my poor sense of time, but I'm guessing that's when she got hers.

I wasn't willing to make the trip to Singapore, so I tumpang a friend in Australia to sign my copy of The Wake (he spelled my name right, and even drew a little Morpheus). Kickin' rad.

I thought Snow Crash was a terribly fun read, but I haven't read anything else by Neal Stephenson so don't blame me if you hate it.

Three reasons why Snow Crash is awesome:
(No plot points given away, but I guess some people are a stickler for these things)

I was under the impression that Atria's last book sale was actually Popular's closing down sale. Was I mistaken? Why are they having another one?
