Hello, Phrynne. :) |
| 16:52 |
Phrynne |
I am not sure I can do voice tonight; I am having trouble with input -- there is a screech I can't get rid of |
| 17:00 |
Valibrarian Gregg |
Does everyone have the link to the story? |
| 17:00 |
Max Chatnoir |
Yes |
| 17:00 |
Valibrarian Gregg |
Sounds good to me! |
| 17:01 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Kay must have crashed on us |
| 17:01 |
Valibrarian Gregg |
Wordsmith- do you want to ask for volunteer readers? |
| 17:02 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Sure. |
| 17:02 |
Valibrarian Gregg |
Welcome Siri! we are about to start |
| 17:02 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
We generally each read a couple of paragraphs, round robin |
| 17:02 |
Valibrarian Gregg |
Anyone can volunteer to read- or if you prefer- you can listen |
| 17:02 |
Siri Vezina |
should I try to see if we have a copy? |
| 17:02 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Welcome Siri |
| 17:02 |
Valibrarian Gregg |
I will read! anyone else? |
| 17:03 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I will ;) |
| 17:03 |
Max Chatnoir |
I will |
| 17:03 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And Ludova, best to toggle your mic off when not speaking. |
| 17:04 |
Valibrarian Gregg |
Ludo can't hear at all- some bug in the Firestorm update or something |
| 17:04 |
Ludova (quippe.wylder) |
Sorry, Wordsmith. I was trying to tell Val why I'm about to leave. |
| 17:04 |
Siri Vezina |
I would, but we don't have a paper copy |
| 17:04 |
Valibrarian Gregg |
https://www.baen.com/Chapters/9781481482592/9781481482592___4.htm |

Ludova (quippe.wylder) |
Thank you for trying to help, Val. |

Max Chatnoir |
I'm sorry your sound isn't working. |

Valibrarian Gregg |
So we will start at "I was a SOLDIER..." |
| 17:05 |
Siri Vezina |

Valibrarian Gregg |
WOW what a great introduction to the story~ |
| 18:10 |
KayCooper |
Really good! |
| 18:10 |
Suemoon Magic |
I read a story in 1972 that was very similar |
| 18:10 |
Valibrarian Gregg |
I am glad we read the intro AFTER the story :) |
| 18:10 |
Suemoon Magic |
The Shape of Illusion by William Barrett – January 1, 1972) |
| 18:10 |
Valibrarian Gregg |
The artifact was like peering into your own soul. |
| 18:10 |
KayCooper |
I read a book by Ben Bova a long time ago...don't remember much but I do remember liking it :) |
| 18:11 |
Suemoon Magic |
Barrett's book was a painting that everyone saw themselves in |
| 18:11 |
Valibrarian Gregg |
yes- that description of science fiction was amazing :) |
| 18:12 |
Valibrarian Gregg |
I loved hearing all the voices too- makes the story flow |
| 18:12 |
Suemoon Magic |
It was a painting of Jesus carrying his cross on the way to be crucified. |
| 18:12 |
Suemoon Magic |
Most of the crowd were jeering and spitting |
| 18:12 |
Valibrarian Gregg |
oh yes- I have heard of that~ |
| 18:12 |
Suemoon Magic |
so most people saw themselves doing horrible things |
| 18:12 |
Valibrarian Gregg |
very cool idea! |
| 18:12 |
Valibrarian Gregg |
self revelation through an artifact |
| 18:12 |
Suemoon Magic |
even non Christians were moved because it was so cruel |
| 18:13 |
Phrynne |
Erised is desire in reverse |
| 18:13 |
Shiloh Emmons |
love the book |
| 18:13 |
Suemoon Magic |
I read that also |
| 18:13 |
Shiloh Emmons |
my favorite |
| 18:13 |
KayCooper |
I was just thinking of the Sword of Shannara |
| 18:13 |
Shiloh Emmons |
nods |
| 18:14 |
KayCooper |
I think because people who do evil things don't think of themselves as evil |
| 18:14 |
Valibrarian Gregg |
We read that one in our CVL book club! The Sword of Shannara by Brooks, Terry-- is that it? |
| 18:14 |
Shiloh Emmons |
I was just about to re-read it |
| 18:14 |
Shiloh Emmons |

| 18:14 |
Shiloh Emmons |
came out in 1977 |
| 18:14 |
KayCooper |
I've been working my way through the Shannara series |
| 18:14 |
Shiloh Emmons |
yes, it deviates |
| 18:14 |
Shiloh Emmons |
yes.. |
| 18:15 |
KayCooper |

KayCooper |
It's a bunch of different trilogies |
| 18:15 |
Valibrarian Gregg |
We have our book club tomorrow night at 6- at CVL |
| 18:15 |
KayCooper |
The tv series is very much the MTV version of Shannara |
| 18:16 |
Valibrarian Gregg |
