John M. Ford, occasional works

[pegkerr]

For those of you who aren't familiar with Mike's work, I recommend this thread at makinglight , which pulls together some of Mike's brilliant comment thread posts. It gives you an idea of how funny and brilliant he was.

(Dammit, Teresa and Patrick, this just makes me miss him worse. But thank you.)

elisem , I did light a candle for him at the All Saints Day service yesterday.

Love,
Peg

I requested every one of his books that the library owns. I'm going to reintroduce myself to his work.

I went on Amazon, got bunches used; I think I have them all, but they were in storage, there are now about 120 boxes here in my apartment, to be sorted through, shelved (about 1/4 to 1/3 of them), stored, or in some cases, passed along to others. The ford books, though? Keepers, and the duplicates from this latest buying binge are to introduce others to them. (Have already got one friend, who has difficulty concentrating on written things, started on _The Final Reflection_ *evil grin*.)

_The Final Reflection_ is, to my mind, the best Trek book ever. It's so good that I don't even hold the cheesy cover against it.

I keep looking for new posts of his in Making Light, and then I get punched in the gut again by the fact that there will be no more of them.
