Ah, a kuvasc. Er, no, I didn’t think of that, not speaking Hungarian nor knowing anything about dogs.

Too bad, a multinational cow sounded good, too…

I was thinking of the Hungarian shepherd, the kuvasc. (Actually pronounced KOO-vawch.) That the same one you’re speaking of?

Saaaay, Mr. Brust… this koovash beast you mention (”Rocza was instantly alert, like a koovash scenting a wolf”), that wouldn’t happen to come from somewhere on the franco-german border, would it? A Kuh-Vache?

No Spoilers. I… haven’t finished yet. Wife squashed the crap out of her knee and so the 20 hours since I got the book has been spent with someone thrusting the twins in my face saying “watch this while I complain about my knee.”

Charming.

Hey Steve, are you going to make a post so people can tell you how much they enjoyed reading Iorich?

I’d just do it here, but it doesn’t seem, well, appropriate.

Interesting. Amazon is out of Iorich right now. I wonder if it’s the good kind of out or the bad kind.

I just got my copy of Iorich, too. The back of the book cracked me up, and I know I’m going to be reading all night tonight.

If you’re ever doing a book signing in the New England area, please post it here. I’d be right there in line.

You signed my copy of Issola, Steven. In fact, it’s the only “book signed by author” that I have. I show it to people when I’m getting all wordy about loving Taltos and telling them why they should read.

Also, Iorich came out today. Are we (collectively) going to talk about this, or are you not going to post anything at all? I had to drive to three different book stores and burn at least an hour to find a copy. Stupid Borders didn’t have their 15 copies yet, and Books-A-Million can suck it. This is the second most crap I’ve had to go through to get a book of yours. The most? Jhegaala, which came out while I was at Vegas. I walked two miles in Vegas July to get that book, died of heat stroke twice.

Personally, I’d love to discuss ideas with somebody who inspired me to take up writing in the first place. So I’d say just finding this site was great luck. Many thanks for the years of entertainment.

Oh, and as a side note to everybody- Jason’s klava recipe in 108 is amazing. Recently made it myself, and was very happy with the results.
