To those I haven't answered about my last post, I'm just giving up on it for now. No one is more frustrated by inability to rectify the myriad ways I approach one topic than me, I promise. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to drop something so fast, it's just a tad too depressing for me right now.

I distracted myself with a preview of the Serenity novelization. I have to say, having some experience with novelizations, that this one is pretty good. The selection up on Amazon has a rewritten account of the scene from Serenity Valley that was the opener of the episode "Serenity" (let's have a Pee-Wee's Playhouse "Woooooo!" everytime I have to write 'Serenity,' okay? WOOO!!!!). It has all the dialogue faithfully represented and it's got a good rhythm to it. Think I might have to pick this one up. I've bought more embarrassing novelizations in my day, for movies I didn't like half so well or that weren't half so smart as Serenity. So, why not?

Also, WOOOO!!!

Steven Brust is a prolific sci-fi author, but the only novel you ever need to read, IMO, is To Reign In Hell which is a take on the war in heaven, and the Fall, etc. Angels and Satan and -- ooh, it makes me tingle. I highly recommend it, particularly if you have any interest in the mythology it's based in. Anyway, he is apparently a massive Firefly fan, so.
