stormdogOh, before I go to bed, I remember what I was going to say! I finished Anansi Boys. It was really good, but it seemed somehow just a little clumsy in parts. Stardust still stands tall as my favorite Gaiman book by a wide margin. His other stuff is really good; absorbing even. But there were just little things here and there that jarred me out of the fantasy.
I started reading Catch 22 on the way to work. It's a little disjointed, a little chaotic. But so is war. It's interesting. I'm very tempted to create a character in City of Villains named Doctor Daneeka. I'm not sure what he'd look like though. Maybe the closest I can come to a tweed suit and horn-rim glasses. Just an average looking fellow in a nice suit jacket. He'd spend his time admonishing other villains. "You think you've got it bad? I'm just level one cannon fodder. The other villains push me in front of the lines to be an ablative meat-shield. How do you think I feel?"
I wonder how many people would get the reference? I'll admit, I wouldn't have myself 'till today.
There are so many things in this book that would make a fantastic play! I'd love to be in it too. I'd play the doctor if I could get my hands on the part. I didn't know if it had been done, so I looked it up. Apparently it has, but not very successfully. It's too bad; I would have thought that one could do a marvelous adaptation of it.
