Well it's been over a month since our last post so as your group moderator, let me break the silence. Anything new with any of you Silverbergwise? Don't...
Be it officially noted that I've written an original essay called "Building Alternative Realities" that will be posted in the next day or two on Amazon.com as...
I'll look for the Amazon.com essay--sounds interesting. I've been reading a lot of other things the past few months, but still reading some Silverberg here and...
Hello all, When I'm not reading, I pay my bills working as an IT journalist. And out of curiosity, I've typed "Silverberg" in my P2P software. Surprised, I've...
I have legally purchased and downloaded several of Mr Silverberg's works, mainly through Fictionwise. I have read the short stories through that medium, but...
J don't know much about the P2P world. I've forwarded your letter to the Fictionwise people in the hope that they can do something about this. RS -- In...
... Do you recall anything else about the story? Were the "forlorn" intelligent aliens, or small housepets...? And it might help to know about when it was that...
... For everyone's info... Go to Amazon.com and type "Building Alternative Realities" in the search box. RS's essay should be the first thing to come up. It's ...
Thanks, Jon. I'm glad to see the work is finally on the site. Judging by the description it sounds fascinating. May I ask for an explanation of the format in...
I just got a note about this one. Our Hero will be a Guest of Honor at V-Con 30 in Vancouver BC Canada this fall. The convention is October 7-9, 2005. ...
When you find out how to download it, let me know. I suppose I ought to download it and print it out, if I can, for my own files. And I trust all of you will...
You will certainly see me there Jon. I have coincidentaly just moved back to Western Canada so it was a pleasant surprise to see that Vancouver convinced RS...
I'm living in Seattle now, so this is something I would love to go to. Mr. Silverberg, could you spare a little time for your devoted online fans? :-) ...
Hi all, I read MITM as a young boy in the 70's, perfect timing. I am now in my late 40's and have read most of Mr. Silverbergs books. He is one of my favorite...
Seattle? You do move around! Is this some Microsoft link? But of course let's get together at the Vancouver con. Saturday afternoon will probably be the...

Apparently the Amazon essay "Building Alternative Realities" really IS on sale now, after two or three false starts when it seemed to be available but wasn't....
A note for Silverberg collectors: the University of Nebraska Press has just released new editions of AT WINTER'S END and its sequel, THE QUEEN OF SPRINGTIME,...
Urgh! Sounds like a must-have. Being a Silverberg fan (let alone a collector) is so difficult sometimes, with such wonderful things coming along. It's hard to...
Indeed Jon. Be thankful you never got into buying cover paintings too! As for the Winter/Springtime books, I am pleased to see them coming back into print....
I've just read "Star of gypsies", and I found it a very original and enjoyable novel,funny and touching. I loved the "Romany Star" story, still more poignant...
I'm about to reread this novel. I keep a dated list of every book I've ever read and it's been about 12 years. I usually remember the plot of my RS novels...
Del Rey books is going to reissue THE BOOK OF SKULLS on Jan 31 in a very handsome trade paperback edition -- I've seen the cover, and it's terrific. As you'll...
I should add for the benefit of those of you who think they have enough editions of THE BOOK OF SKULLS already that the new one will contain an afterword by...
I'll go buy 5 or 6 as presents for all my friends. And one for myself so I can add this to my collection and read the afterward :-) But Jan. 31 is a while...
Here is the link for this book to the Amazon website so people don't have to go searching for it: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0345471385 ...
IMDb has a skeleton of a page for the upcoming movie. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0419554/ Other than the director William Friedkin (The Exorcist) and...
It will be interesting to see whether the film--if it's really made--is set in the early 70s or in the early 21st century. In some ways The Book of Skulls,...
... Since the book was set in the 70s, the characters do have something of a 70s mindset. And since the book for the most part (or really all of it) is in the...
