This is going to be a little bit of a different podcast.

I haven't put one up in about six or eight days, I think.

But I've been busy on the Steve Lilly number 20 that I uploaded last Wednesday or Thursday, I think.

And I'm going to talk about Steve Lilly further on in the podcast.

I think they would call it a novella. It's not a very long book, but I stumbled across that

book about two or three years ago. I think someone reviewed it. It's not a very long book, but I stumbled across that book about two or three years ago.

I think someone reviewed it. It looked interesting, so I bought it and I read it, and I just

love the way this guy writes. He's won all kind of awards, and he's written six or eight novels.

He's a poet. He's got two or three books of poetry out.

So I'll give these authors a read and then I'll put it down and I'll write their name down

and then I'll go to another author. And then when I want to come back to them, I'll pick up another
