Lucky Wander Sean
Speaking of cool looking paperbacks, and of old friends of mine named Sean, I also just picked up Lucky Wander Boy, by D.B. Weiss. It's a first novel, who knows if it will be any good, but it's about a guy in search of a surreal video game he remembers from his 1980s childhood, and the cover blurb says "D.B. Weiss does for video games what Michael Chabon did for comics." So you know I had to check it out.
My only regret is that it wasn't written by my other amigo Sean (who is not the one I was talking about in my last post). If anyone was going to write the Great American 1980s Video Game Novel, I always figured it would be him. Although Sean is actually Canadian, and as far as I know, the Great Canadian 1980s Video Game Novel remains to be written. So there's still hope, as long as Jim Munroe doesn't beat him to it.
...
And speaking of friends of mine, go visit my friend Chris' weblog, if you haven't already. (Or just add the![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
gammafodder RSS feed to your friends list.) He just started it and is lonely for comments. He's a techno DJ by night and runs a nuclear power plant by da— well, actually he does both those things by night. By day, I think he sleeps, or maybe plays "Crazy Taxi." Anyway, unlike me, he has more to talk about than just geek games and books he's reading.
