The next Lemony Snicket book, The Grim Grotto, will be out on September 21, and is up for pre-order on amazon.com. (Note, however, that in the past Snicket books have often hit store shelves well before their street date.)

But what about Snicket's rumoured pregancy? Won't that slow things up? My gad, what's a person to do???

Jeezum crow! What is wrong with people? A woman came up to me at work today and said, "The lady who writes Harry Potter says having another baby isn't going to affect the book's coming out. Isn't that great?" Yeah. 'Cause otherwise she'd have to abort it so it wouldn't get in the way.

Her Name Is Lola
Is what he calls it
And now it's jammed into my brain
Repeats to the point of pain

It's his new novel
It's out in hardback
Though its title drives me mad
At some point it will be had

But let me make it clear--
It's wormed into my ear

It's by Hoban, by Russel Hoban
And there's nothing I can rhyme with Hoban
It's by Hoban, by Russel Hoban
Assonance maybe? Don't count on it baby! He's called Hoooooban...

Hooooban... *aieeee!*

Actually, Amaryllis Night and Day looks pretty good as well.

Hot damn. I know what my son's getting for a couple-days-late birthday present. :)
