Do you have your copy of The Sandman, Vol. 5: A Game of You? Are you sitting comfortably? Right!

We’re going to be reading the first two issues (#32 and #33): Slaughter on Fifth Avenue and Lullabies of Broadway.

If you absolutely positively have to talk about some major spoiler in comments, please rot13.

It has also come up that some wish to have a place where they can yell “DIBS!” I suppose this is as good a place to yell “dibs!” as any. (One should also keep in mind that just because someone yelled “DIBS!” on your favorite book, the one that you were hoping to recap, know that you can still submit one. We’ll read and argue over that one too.) Dibs, so far, behind the cut:

Katherine wants #31, Distant Mirrors – Three Septembers and a January (this is in the collection after A Game Of You… the numbering is all hinky starting about now)

Russell Saunders wants #35, Beginning to See the Light (that’s in this one)

Russell Saunders wants #36, Over the Sea to Sky (and this one too)

Jason Tank wants #41, Chapter One of Brief Lives

Russell Saunders wants #50, Ramadan

Katherine wants #53, Hob’s Leviathan

Reformed Republican wants #54, The Golden Boy

Ken wants #55, Cerements

Ken wants #56, World’s End

Alan Scott wants #75, The Tempest (schedule permitting)

  2. A question, dear Jaybird.

    I believe my first volunteered summaries are right around the corner. How do I get them to you most efficiently?

    • I find that plain text in an email or in a notepad attachment makes for perfect cutting/pasting into the posting field.

      If you have a preference for italics or bold for this, or that, phrase, let me know and I’ll see that it gets in there (or, heck, include the html). If you want to include a particular link, put it in parenthesis after the word you want it linking to. If you have a “HOLY COW YOU NEED TO LOOK AT THIS PARTICULAR ARTWORK” from a particular page, let me know and I’ll find it and make sure that it’s embedded in the post somewhere.

      For the most part, people have just emailed me their posts or emailed me with notepad attachments for their posts.
