My parents, knowing that I'm a nerd, gave me $200 for Christmas and suggested that I get every FPW book I could lay my hands on. I got:
The Keep, The Tomb, The Touch, Reborn, Reprisal, Nightworld, Healer, Wheels Within Wheels, An Enemy of the State, The Tery, The Christmas Thingy, Dydeetwon, Blackwind, Fifth Harmonic, Demonsong, Barren & Others, and Soft & Others. I already had all the RJ books, as well as Masque, Nightkill, Sims, The Select, Deep as the Marrow, and I think one or two others. Am I missing anything?

I said it before and now that I'm watching Season 2, I'll say it again: Arrested Development may be the funniest show to ever grace the small screen. If you haven't yet caught it, I recommend rushing out to the store or putting it in your internet que(SP) immediately. Unless, of course, you prefer The Apprentice to brilliant writing, smart acting, and quirky humor.

The "Afternoon Delight" episode had me crying.

...went out last night. If you signed up for it and didn't get it, PM me your email addy and I'll have my staff (heh) check it out.

"11/23 – I finally signed the contract for the “Pelts” adaptation by
MoH. (Man, they want everything short of your soul.)"

Damn! I was going to cancel my subscription to Showtime. I guess they'll keep getting my $11 a month until this one airs.

M. Night Shyamalan's Lady in the Water teaser.

I have been a fan for many years.
Have read all the Adversary/Jack books, several of the others and two of the short story collections.
Is there a complete bibliography of his books available so that I can see
which I have missed over the years?

Thanks,
Steve

I just re-read "Hosts", and I noticed one thing. Sandy Palmer(sp?) made Jack's montage pictures in his newspaper office, and he used "Identity Kit 2000". After he made Jack's montage, he didn't delete the file and saved it as GPM. So, as a result....I think Jack's montage picture was left in a office's PC. I'm sure this is Jack's identity. I think someday someone find this file, and someone try to search Jack.

I think this is BIG problem for Jack. :eek:

I'm reasonably certain I saw a bare boob on SNL's Girls Gone Wild: Katrina skit.

I might get crucified for this, but what the heck. It's how I feel.

Abe is my age. I have a great many Jewish friends who are his age. My ex-husband, who is Jewish, is his age. I live and work with many, many Jewish men who are Abe's age. Not of one of them speaks like Abe.

My problem with Abe is this: he does not sound like a single, solitary Jewish person of my age. If he were 20 or 30 years older, his Yiddishisms would be more appropriate. From what I understand, Abe was born and raised in New York. As he is written, I think Abe is an anachronism, more of a caricature than a true character. Abe is the sole character in the RJ series who does not ring 100% true for me.

Every Jew I know uses Yiddishisms here and there. I do, too, as do many New Yorkers, Jewish or not. But no one I know who is his age speaks like Abe. Older New Yorkers do; some of the older parents or grandparents of my Jewish friends may sound like Abe.

I love Abe's heart and the man that he is. I love how he fits into Jack's life. But Abe is not real for me.

I've turned a few Jewish friends on to the RJ series. They like the books, but to a person, they are uncomfortable with Abe and find the way he is written to be a detraction from the series.
