I have, of course, long since foresworn all my super-villainous ambitions, and anyone who says different is begging for a beating from the flying monkeys. Nonetheless, a series of misunderstands makes it needful that I temporarily relocate to someplace where neither Aslan, Kimball Kennison, nor the Guardians of the Universe have an extradition treaty. I shall be taking my holiday in Kurd Lasswitz's Universal Library, which, as I'm sure you know, contains every book every written in the multiverse. How I came to possess the index to this library is an interesting story, but sadly too long to fit in the boundaries of this margin.
Anyway--whilel in the UL, I shall be getting a couple of copies of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Compleat History of Sauron in the Second Age, detailing, among other things, the activities of the aforementioned Dark Lord during the forging of the Rings of Power. (It was written three Earth-analogs over, on a world where the Perfesser lived to be 117.) I'm told it's a good read, as is The Moon is a Harsh Master, Robert Heinlein's sequel to the Moon Is A Harsh Mistress, so I'll be picking up a copy of that as well. Can I get anything for the rest of y'all?
