It's Over.

It drove me crazy for years. Yes, years. It mocked, scoffed and taunted me. In the end, it was the cover, glanced when looking for something completely different, that solved the mystery.

>Strange Wine< by Harlan Ellison

The stories I had been looking for so very long: Strange Wine, Seeing and The Wine Has Been Left Open too Long and the Memory Has Gone Flat. I never claimed they were the best ever, just that I had to find them or descend into primeval chaos.

It will feel as if there are no more secrets left - mercifully, only for a while.

My friend, it's hurrah indeed! To no longer have that thing tickling the back of my mind...

Whoooo!

And hallelujah!

So now that the niggling feeling has been quashed, how's "The Historian" coming along?

Oh, and I took your rec (I think it was yours, anyway) and have just started the new Eco book. Only a couple of chapters in so far, but the premise is fascinating - and quite unusual. I'll keep ya posted.

(((hugs)))

Yes, the Eco was my fault. You were sort of wary of him (can't say I blame ya, the man almost killed me with the weight of his blasted Foucault's Pendulum), but I promised you something new and exciting. If he doesn't deliver, let me know - I have some friends in Italy and Misery is one of King's best works IMHO. *picture my most innocent face*

I'll get to The Historian, but now I must get me to a bed. Any bed will do as long as I can sleep until I forget my own name. Yes, that tired.
