Somnology!

Okey doke, if you have your copy of The Sandman Vol. 6: Fables and Reflections, know that we’re going to be reading the first *THREE* stories from the book. (It’s okay, the first of the three is an 8-page mini story that was written for a Vertigo One-Shot intended to introduce the flavor of Vertigo to the masses.)

Ken has tackled Fear of Falling and Distant Mirrors: Three Septembers and a January. We still need a recapper/storyteller for Distant Mirrors – Thermidor.

(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:

Ken wants #40, The Parliament of Rooks (This, too, is part of Fables and Reflections)

Jason Tank wants #41, Chapter One of Brief Lives

Mike Schilling wants #42 (the answer), Chapter Two of Brief Lives

Russell Saunders wants #50, Ramadan (This, too, is part of Fables and Reflections)

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)

  1. You should ask Jason Kuznicki if he’s interested in writing about Thermidor. His PhD is in enlightenment-era French History IIRC, so he’d be able to incorporate a lot of real-world knowledge the way I did with my Midsummer recap.

    • I’ll send an email but he’s mentioned in (I think it was) one of dear Russell’s stupid Tuesday questions that Sandman was something that everyone thinks he should be interested in but… he’s just not.
