Barnes & Nada
I know, I know. Barnes & Noble has crappy mainsteam books, and the sky is blue. But it's the only bookstore I could find near the hotel I'm living in this week. I went in thinking I could pick up some comfortingly dystopian cyberpunk bedtime stories for after I'm done coding tonight. But they had NO John Shirley, NO Linda Nagata, NO Pat Cadigan. I've already read the new William Gibson, too. So I'm catching up on Bruce Sterling and Greg Bear. Plus a kind of interesting-looking
History of the FDA. And a copy of
Girlfriends Magazine with Buffy, Willow & Tara on the cover.
Also, no bombs falling on my city, and nobody is looting priceless historical treasures anywhere nearby.
Still shoulda had James drop me off at
City Lights, though.
