Who knows, maybe he'll happen upon one if he hasn't already caught wind of it.

Both the university and college in town run spec fic classes, so I was thinking I'd fill up those books that are on the reading lists once September rolls around

This is brilliant.

Over the years I've taken both courses (also the sci-fi fiction ones) and I remember back when I was in the fantasy fiction course at the college that my prof was flipping through slides quickly at the end of a class to try and cover the important points before we left and I caught Bakker's name on one of them as I sat idly pretending to be listening.

I approached her after class about it (this was in the period where "we" were waiting to hear the final details and release date for WLW) and as it turns out it was a slide from the previous years course. She had had Bakker come in and do a reading and quest lecture for a period. It was as disappointing to learn it wasn't scheduled for out class as it was exciting to have noticed his name there in the first place.

So I'm kind of hoping those textbook lists might attract a few more to witness an apocalypse

>Hit up Staples for a couple hundred bookmarks
>Spend more time cutting them than took to print them
>Head to biggest Chapters in town and impregnate the spec fic section with the sticky black semen that is the Second Apocalypse
>Martin, Erikson, Herbert, Rothfuss, Lovecraft, Tolkien, Abercrombie, Lawrence, Morgan, Simmons; the list goes on
>Next week, grab the spec fic reading lists and hit up the uni bookstore and some used shops

Awesome work - though figure out how to attach photos :P. Pro tip, pay attention to file size.

Oh yeah! Got some stellar literary terrorism in today, though I'm saddened to report (again) that Bakker is not stocked anywhere in Canada...

Deposited some more of my dwindling stack of bookmarks in Abercrombie, Abraham, Brooks, Cook, Erikson, Gaiman, Gemmell, Jordan, Lawrence, Martin, Moorcock, Newman, Prachett, Rothfuss, Sanderson, and Tolkien.

Also, while I was wasting my afternoon in book bliss, I overheard a women talking to her friend about getting her husband a new book, as he had caught up on ASOAIF. Unfortunately, as Bakker is not stocked (>:(), I couldn't immediately hand her TDTCB. So I recommended Gardens of the Moon, slipped in a bookmark for her, and sent her happily on her way (as she was about to buy a Wildcards anthology because Martin's name was on it). Hopefully, her hubby enjoys Erikson but ultimately finds his way to us :).

I had forgotten about this, but when my wife was reading Darkness a few months back, she mentioned the book to someone she knows who lives in India.  He snap bought the entire series.  Last I heard though he hadn't actually started it yet though.

I have a stack of uncut bookmarks, probably 400 of them.
