Anyway, there have been various odd bits of news. The Pentagon's advertising for people to sit on Draft boards . . . that's going to be a good way of recapturing the youth vote. The Beeb are, as I'm sure you all know by now, going to adapt the remainder of the Guide (the three books that weren't adapted from the radio series, that is). Oh, and there was this review of a Julian Cope concert the other day, too. If you haven't been fortunate enough to see this man live, I recommend you do. It's an experience you won't forget - and a massively enjoyable one, too, before the smart-alecs get their oars in.

And Neil Gaiman has already read the new Gene Wolfe. The bastard. I mean, it's very good of him to recommend it to people and reassure us that it's going to be good, but . . . the bastard.
