Found a copy of The Scholars of Night over the holiday; reading it now.

Scholars of the Night is a book where (to quote Mike)

... the close friend/spouse/lover ... has to go back to what those references meant when the victim was alive and they were together.

...If you did that right, you wouldn’t half need to blow anything up. Until the movie, of course.

If this was a fairer universe, Scholars would have been a Hollywood blockbuster, and Tom Clancy would still be selling insurance.

Now that I know there is such a book, I will go and acquire it posthaste. When I read that quote, I thought "Oh, I hope he wrote it." And it turns out yes, he did.

All of these rememberings are so wonderful.

I agree with Caroline.

I'm sure there is still a part seven and eight pending.

Once all these "collected wisdoms" are received, is there any chance of:
A) "snaking" them together, with a link to part II at the end of Part I, and
B) a permanent or semi-permanent link to all of them, maybe through the "Globally useful" links?

There are not one but two responses to me collected in here. I'm not sure how to feel about that: I think I'll go with pleased.

You may already have this quote (from one of the Works above) standing alone somewhere on "Making Light", but if not it deserves a place of its own: "Everything is connected. That's why it shorts out so often."

Such glorious wit, now lost to us.

"Everything is connected. That's why it shorts out so often."

Would it be inappropriate to disseminate that quote, provided Mike is shown to be its author? (If not, I apologize most profusely and will slink away into the darkness until the wounds heal.)

There is a response to me up there too. Oh. I corrected John M. Ford about something. And I am even more embarrassed about it now than I was then.

Hi! I thought you and your readers might be interested in some post-Easter news about Pope Benedict XVI...
The Pope's car is being auctioned off to raise money for Habitat for Humanity:

The bidding is already more than $200,000! Personally, I think this is a really fun and creative way to raise
money. The auction goes until April 14th if you and your readers want to check it out.

Inappropriate pitchery.
