I got two great new advance reading copies this week:
What the Dickens, the Story of a Rogue Tooth Fairy by Gregory Maguire
Pirate Freedom by Gene Wolfe.
I'm a HUGE fan of both authors (I have two signed first editions of Wicked!) and couldn't be more excited to read these books. Plus, there's an ass-kicking good epigram to kick off Pirate Freedom:
"Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats." - H. L. Mencken.
