Awsome book.

Read it have you? Not many have heard of Lethem.

Oh yes. I loved the hopping car things and make dispensaries

Heh, my favorite line is when the guy gets out of the deep freeze and he REALLY wants some make. It went something like: My body was hitting up my fat cells for some make. The fat cells pulled out their pockets and said, "No dice, mack!"

Love that book..

I will have to investigate this title further.

Wow, this book is for real? It almost looks like a doctored pic to me, like something they would put on SomethingAwful.com or something like that.

But if its for real and everything, I would not mind giving that a read when I get the time.

It's real alright, look it up!

Well buy this book this comeing pay check, need to write it down

It's been out for some years, now. Should be pretty cheap if you go to Amazon or somewhere like that.

ture but I live close to two books stores so I'm sure I can find it at one of them.

Good chance. It was sort of, mildly popular for a first novel.

OK! Another thing to check out. Thanks!

Totally worth it.

Holy crap, this is my kinda book. It doesn't by any chance have a noir feel to it, does it? If so, I'm fucking buying this book. period. If not, I'll still give it a read.

Well, the 30's in general had a noir feel to it. So, yes I'd say it does. The book alternates between being comical and dark.

Wooot, I'm buyin' for sure. Never thought I'd see another Furry noir after Blacksad. And this one's a novel not a comic book. Double whammy.

Well, I should say it's not COMPLETELY furry. The main character is in fact still human (with a rather interesting condition). That said, it's furry enough for me to mention here on FA.

All the better. I can never find enough furries and humans together anymore. It's either all furry or all human...

Then you'll love it!

I came to your page specifically to name your Icon. And here I find you outed it yourself. I found this book by accident, browsing in my library. It was so awesome. Pulp novel feel, with furries. I have to get it. And Amnesia Moon, another one he did, There's furries in that, too.

Yes,that's how I found it too. I worked at a library for some years and I found the title and cover so compelling that I had to read it.
Amnesia moon was also very good. Did that have the McDonald's cult in it or was that a different Letham novel? I suppose it had furries in it. One. The girl with the coat of silky brown fur.

Makes you wonder if Letham might be a bit of a fur himself...

I haven't read it yet. I need to get all of his books and read them, just in case there's furs in them. I love seeing "accidental" furriness. I also loved the bleak and hopeless "Non-ending" of "Gun." It was a very classy switchup AND homage to the pulp style he was going for.

He might just like anthro animals. Which makes him a fur. But he probably never thought to identify with them. I'm pretty damn sure Mercedes Lackey is, though. Read "Chrome Circle" and check out one of the locations that they go to. They emerge out from under a bandstand into the corner of a park, filled with anthros. It's very telling. Misty has been around FM.

Shit, hope I didn't spoil anything for ya.
I don't think Gun's ending was that hopeless. Dude gets himself a dose of addictol and goes back to the freezer till shit makes sense again. Made me grin.

What's Chrome Circle about?

It's been a bit since I last read it, but basically: A guy discovers that he has magical powers, and finds there's a whole magical culture in the world, hidden from humans. And, he meets up with, and hooks up with, a young Kitsune girl. They shuffle off on some adventures, and her mother, with a group of other magical folks, set off to save them from a force that's out to get them. And, like I say, they stop in at what is, for all intents and purposes, FurryMUCK.

Hmm, might have to take a look.

Shit, hope I didn't spoil anything for ya.

What's Chrome Circle about?

is it considered a mainstream or furry book?
Mmm, paws :-9

Definitely mainstream. The edge of it, anyways.
*slurp*

Im so getting this... thanks for the heads up! :D

I'm not much of a reader, but I'll check it out

You should, it's not too terribly long. The narrative style keeps you interested as well.
