Yeah. I just asked Nathan about it yesterday, and he says we’re pretty close.

The magic with the DNS is still in the pipeline?

Patrick: You won’t find Lord of Light in the Great Book of Amber; it’s a stand-alone. Zelazny took great swaths of Hindu mythology and transposed it into far-future SF on a world 99% of which has forgotten it started as a colony from Earth. Don’t worry…you’ll forgive him for making Siddhartha sound like Corwin, I promise.

Regarding MarkW@6: Back when I went to buy Sethra Lavode I approached a worker at the store and he looked it up on his computer and said, “By Steven Burst?” Of course, I used to pronounce it like “thrust”.

And to echo Patrick S, Mr. Brust’s ubiquitous comments on Zelazny led me to reading his works and in turn a friend of mine who’d I’d introduced to Vlad and etc.

You’ll have to enlighten me on that one, it’s been a long time since I read some Zelazny. Which I read in the first place because Steven said he was good. Of course, he was right. Anyway, I’m just making my way back through all Vlad’s novels, then I’ll be off to read the Viscount again and then back to the Great Book of Amber. I think my favorite part of Paarfi’s writing, though, was the interview at the end. I’ve noticed, though, that if other people haven’t read the book, they really can’t appreciate the humor of it. I get a lot of blank stares…

Since I don’t see the links-to-book-discussions yet, I’m going to put this here, mainly because I’m too damn lazy to poke through the archives and get lost. So sue me, it’s cold. :-P

Anyway…re-reading The Paths of the Dead on a snowy day shortly after looking again at Lord of Light, I finally saw another card you palmed from Roger Zelazny, and now I feel silly for missing it before.

All things considered, it was thorough as well as impressive, Paarfi’s description of the Halls of Judgment.

So… Should we all huddle in our basements and chant RFC 2100 to hurry the process along?

Yep. Apparently at this point waiting for some magic involving DNS to happen.
