My roommate said something similar, to which I replied, "I don't think Shannon would like that very much."

I was sorta surprised by the realization that Murphy hadn't met Bob as well. I sorta feel bad that I bought that book a few days ago, read Jim's piece, and haven't even glanced at the other stories.

Same here. I know where it is, and will get back to it, but I've been sidetracked by other things, like Terry Pratchett's new one.

"This is Bob the Skull," I told her.
"It's a skull," she said. "That talks."
"Bob is actually the spirit inside. The skull is just the container it's in."
She looked blankly at me and then said, "It's a skull. That talks."
I loved this whole scene! |

Finally got the book from the SFBC. Turned right to the story and read it in minutes. What a riot. Bob was really dirty...and yet you had to love it!

You're not the only one. Same here. It was good though. Haven't read anything of Jim's that I didn't love. I think Jim's books will be my next re-read! |

I'm dipping into it when I have the time, now that the shame of being seen in the Romance section of Barnes and Noble is wearing off. The Esther Friesner story is great--she's dependably amusing as a writer. |

For some reason I cannot find this book at all. I don't know exactly where to look when I'm in BAM and I don't want to order it online.
Anyone have any suggestions of where to look? Or a name to look under?
