Hiya! I wandered to your livejournal from, um, johncwright's, saw the Diane Duane reviews, and have been enjoying them immensely - I'm something of a Duane fangirl, and it's good to see that someone else enjoys her writing as much as I do. I love "The Wounded Sky", though I've come to appreciate it more as I've gotten older.
Also, given Duane's tendency to toss in crossovers and inside jokes, I thought I'd mention the (I think) David Gerrold cameo in "Wounded Sky", where Jerry Freeman is getting followed by a gigantic purple worm begging for dessert (Gerrold wrote a four-and-counting-book series involving giant ravenous purple worms). There's an even better one in "Dark Mirror", but I won't spoil it.

Mind if I friend you?
