Dan Simmons has become unstuck in time. He's always such a cheerful happy fellow. A short browse through Wikipedia suggests that while Simmons doesn't directly cite Bat Ye'or, she seems to be a key proponent of the concepts he's discussing. While I don't think I've ever heard of her before, I'm not surprised to see the laudatory quote from Victor Davis Hanson.

In a vaguely similar vein, I've finally read Mary Gentle's Grunts, which I can only describe as LOTR via Quentin Tarantino. (The protagonists are essentially Uruk-Hai.) I'm not sure I actually *liked* it, but it was certainly different from yer standard Extruded Fantasy Product.

As a complete tangent, the sun has actually been out for a few hours today, at least so far. We'll see how long this lasts.
