Yeah, most people say "Wow! the Wolfe-folks found me!" or "Thanks for the boost!" But occasionally I encounter people who say "Why'd you retweet this???!!!" or "Who asked you to comment on my post on this open public app?!"

Books with a fantasy surface over an actually sci-fi setting?

He’s on the patent for the extruding and baking process. The engineering office described in the novella “Forlesen” is, in detail, the room he occupied with his British friend whom he said looked like Terry-Thomas. Which is interesting bcz Wolfe in those days resembled Phil Silvers

The Best of Gene Wolfe and The Caretaker by Marcus Kliewer

Doing something where I read a new book and a backlisted book. Today’s choices:
