A short vacation--next post on 23 March 2005.

I'm off to a conference this week (the International Conference of the Fantastic in the Arts) and this, combined with the fact that I hven't actually read anything worth blogging for a day or two, suggests that a short leave of absence is appropriate.

I get back to the UK on 21st March and there should be about eighty books waiting for me (plus the contents of the British Library) so I'll be able to get back to work pretty quickly. I'll post my next report on 23 March.
