non-nonfiction

worth pointing to again

this blog started on 20 dec 2006. there was another one before that for about a year, but i nuked that one & started over - mostly b/c the old one had too many pix of real people. okay, dave foley and sen lindsey graham are real people - even if sen graham has a girl's name - so i don't mean real people in the sense of being nonfiction. i mean real people as in people who would recognize me on the street.

i've always thought it weird that nonfiction is designated by a label that tells what it is not. "this is not a made up story." we don't call salt "nonpepper" or flora "nonfauna" or thongs "nongrannypannys".

currently reading jasper fford's first among sequels which is part of the thursday next series which are stories that sort of pull the top off fiction and look inside. you have to read them to understand, but the main character - thursday next - is a jurisfiction agent and spends her time policing the bookworld [not to be confused with bookland, where isbns come from]. today while i was visiting with thursday who should stop by but temperance brennan. yeah - THAT tempe brennan! ::sigh:: i was too star struck to say anything.
