03/09/2010: "Daniel O'Thunder"

Hello all,

The final meeting of the Afterword Reading Society - I think I mislabeled it the Gentlemen's Reading Society earlier, which was a lie as one of our panelists, Erin Balse, is most assuredly not a fella - is up right now on the National Post blog, The Afterword.

It was a great book as I've said and as the other panelists have said, with one panelist sort of fence-sitting - but that's pretty decent odds when it comes to a book. I don't know why you're not buying a copy. Really, I do not. Get. It. One. Little. Bit. No.

Also, if you're in Toronto, there's a wrap-up party and reading and what-not at Ben Mcnally Books tonight (March 9) with Ian Weir, the man himself, who will be giving a reading. I would be there myself but alas, the notion of hopping a Greyhound for the 24-hour milk run just didn't have any justifiable appeal. But all the other panelists will be there, those hip Torontonians, those movers and shakers, and surely some other literary folks and book-lovers; should be a good time. The Facebook link on the bottom of the Afterword post, so surely you would be welcome ... unless you're a weird stalker type, there to harass and bother Ian or somebody else, in which case still come along but be sure to take your meds beforehand.

All best,
Craig.
