And then it got delayed. And delayed. And delayed.</p> <p>As a result, we accidentally let the current site rust. The new site was so close that we were actually doing content updates on THAT site (rather than trying to maintain both). And... then it just never happened, it never went live. </p> <p>We're currently in talks with a new web site developer in hopes to get our site back on track.

I'm not sure when the site will be be done, but it should be soon...ish. </p> http://www.anothersky.org/asp/forums/topic/the-golden-calf-media-echo#post-495 Fri, 22 Aug 2008 21:56:43 +0000 kristopher 495@http://www.anothersky.org/asp/forums/ <p>that was a darn good review. </p> http://www.anothersky.org/asp/forums/topic/the-golden-calf-media-echo#post-488 Fri, 15 Aug 2008 12:04:59 +0000 Caleb 488@http://www.anothersky.org/asp/forums/ <p>My review of The Golden Calf has just been posted over at Oxyfication.net:</p> <p><a href="http://oxyfication.net/the-golden-calfhenry-baum/" rel="nofollow">http://oxyfication.net/the-golden-calfhenry-baum/</a> </p> http://www.anothersky.org/asp/forums/topic/ash-dogs-review-at-oxyficationnet#post-487 Wed, 06 Aug 2008 02:32:04 +0000 kristopher 487@http://www.anothersky.org/asp/forums/ <p>Great review!

In addition to 'Going Back', there's another chapter in Click you might appreciate for similar reasons - 'Their Starkness', about the loss of the narrator's uncle. <br /> <br /> <p>itheresa wrote:</p><blockquote><br /> I have been reading it.

I agree that most chapters could be considered stand alone - though I also think there is a lot to be learned about each chapter through reading other chapters - imagery and events may take on new meaning.<br /> <br /> <p>Caleb wrote:</p><blockquote><br /> Strangely enough, that's exactly how I read the novel the third time through.

It feels really good to know people are digging deep into Click. I would think you likely learned a lot about the book reading it randomly. I almost read 'Above Me' at the reading until Christine pointed out that it was effectively set in the same room as 'Eyes and Cockroaches' (though one in memory, and one in dream/hallucination). That connection is extremely subtle, so I doubt anyone at the reading would have picked up on, but it led me to read 'Going Back' instead of 'Above Me'. Glad I did. <br /> <br /> Anyway, thanks all for the kind words. Made my day. http://www.anothersky.org/asp/forums/topic/thoughts-on-click#post-461 Mon, 24 Mar 2008 17:41:10 +0000 Caleb 461@http://www.anothersky.org/asp/forums/ <p>itheresa wrote:</p><blockquote><br /> I have been reading it.

For free (thankfully). I don't think <em>Click</em> has anything to worry about. Cage's ability to see exactly 2 minutes into the future didn't play out the way Click's narrators ability to affect 'now' does, though there was one similar scene, sort of. As suspected, it's an action film that doesn't delve into any real psychological or philosophical issues. Also worth noting is that the audience I saw the film with booed at the screen... had I not been interested in the film due to this thread, I'm not sure I would have been able to sit through the entirety of it. http://www.anothersky.org/asp/forums/topic/san-fran-reading#post-434 Sun, 13 May 2007 15:28:06 +0000 Another Sky Press 434@http://www.anothersky.org/asp/forums/ Also -- from what we hear, the reading went smoothly.
