Ken Valentine Wrote:Don't beat yourself over the head about it. L. Neil Smith, another of my favorite authors, does the same sort of thing. Only he does it with the names of real people. In his novel, The Nagasaki Vector, the evil villainess was named Edna Janof. It was about ten years before I finally twigged to the fact that he had rearranged the name Jane Fonda.
TEN YEARS! :o

And that wouldn't be cool at all.

Bluesman Mike Lindner Wrote:Hope it wasn't 10 years of hard time, Ken. But thanks for the tip--I'll check out NAGASAKI VECTOR.

(Oh, and Dad, if you're reading this, it's not lost, just currently misplaced!) I really wanted to spend my fall break reading the AC, but just can't start without Reborn! You guys are making me jealous!
The Mad American Wrote:Well, if you can't find it I have an old paperback copy I could probably send you. Hate to see someone suffer when it comes to good reading.How sweet! I don't think we have another break from school until Turkey Day, so I hope to find my dad's copy before then. . . . again, not lost, just currently not with the others! I find it hard to read for entertainment and read icky school stuff at the same time, the entertainment ALWAYS wins and I end up freaking out over homework and exams. . . . college should be done when you're still young enough to do both!! Or maybe still childless enough to do both, but I wouldn't trade him for the world.
