I started reading the third edition of "Nothing in This Book is True, But It's Exactly How Things Are." Pure head-spinning New Age weirdness. The subtitle is "The Esoteric Meaning of the Monuments on Mars," so I figured I might find some material that could fit in my Mars book. I was less than impressed the first time I read "Nothing...", but I'm enjoying it now; it's a matter of putting normal skepticism on temporary hold and seeking patterns in the neutrino blizzard. It's no accident that this is a cult book.

In theory, the editorial deadline for my manuscript was on the 1st, but I don't think my editor figured it would fall on a weekend. I'm awaiting further instructions and hoping he received my email.
