Fortune

Random quote of the day:


"Fortune-telling doesn't reveal the future; it mirrors the present. It resonates against what your subconscious already knows and hauls it up out of the darkness so that you can get a good look at it."

—Charles de Lint, "Paperjack," Dreams Underfoot

That is one cool picture. Did you make the crystal ball and stand in the image?

I forgot, having had to stop in the middle of the post to fix supper, to comment on the de Lint quote. Love de Lint. I'm re-reading Moonlight and Vines, right now. 8)

I've been reading it off and on for some time now. I have a stack of short story anthologies beside the bed as the only time I seem to read shorts is when I finish a novel early or want to take a break from one. I have read the Dreams Underfoot and The Ivory and the Horn collections, both of which were good, and most of the Newford novels. I liked some of those better than others. I enjoy what he does and how he helped expand the genre, but these days I have to be in a De Lint mood in order to read his stuff. I may have read too much of him at a certain point. Lord knows he's prolific!

No, I totally snagged it off the net.
