ReplyDeleteCongrats on the nomination!
Jess - thank you very much!
ReplyDeleteBack at you man!

Thanks John.
ReplyDeleteAnd congratulations on yours as well - I expected you in the list somewhere, but this is a surprise. Albeit one that makes perfect sense.
Congratulations for the editor nomination. Personally I was not surprised since Pyr has become so fast such a leading SF&F imprint.
ReplyDeleteI like the list of novels, and I read all except Vinge (though I read the Deep novels and I understand the influence on the genre, those novels never impressed me as novels so to speak), and I think that any of Blindsight, Glasshouse or Eifelheim would be a worthy winner. I think that Blindsight is the most audacious of them, in Eifelheim the medieval part is absolutely stunning, and Glasshouse is the best novel of Mr. Stross. I really loved all of them and would be hard pressed to choose.
The other award I feel qualified to comment on since I read all the contestants is the Campbell, where for me the choice would be between Sarah Monette and Scott Lynch, since while I enjoyed to some extent Ms. Novik first book, the second and especially third stretched disbelief too much (battle of Jena with dragons - give me a break...). I think that the popularity of Mr. Lynch will give him the award, though I enjoyed Ms. Monette's books quite a lot too.

Congratulations on the editor nod. As I was just recently saying to a colleague, it's much deserved in your case. You've got a particular set of tastes and you not only buy fiction that epitomizes them, but you also write a lot online explaining what you think you're doing. You're one of the real ones.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Lou! =)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Lou!
ReplyDeleteIt seems that the voters have done a more thoughtful job with the nominations this year than in some recent years. Your well-deserved nomination demonstrates that.
Congratulations, Lou. What wonderful news to wake up to. Much deserved.
ReplyDeleteAnd so close to a Doctor Who lock-out! But no Pan's Labyrinth!
Many, many congratulations. Couldn't happen to a nicer bloke.
ReplyDeletePirates of the Caribbean or V for Vendetta over Pan's Labyrinth? Hmmmmmmm.
And where's that Joe Abercrombie on the list? Must be some kind of typo...
That's great news, Lou. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteBig congrats, Lou: it's well-deserved (and you had my vote, which in this case did count).
ReplyDeleteNow, slowly rethinking WorldCon in Japan?
;-)
Many congrats, Lou! You totally deserve it! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you all very much.
ReplyDeleteRe: Pan's Labyrinth - my guess is it came out too close to the end of the year, though I'm happy to see both Children of Men and the Prestige in the list. Also happy for Doctor Who. And for the list of this year's artists, which I think demonstrates a continued increase in the aforementioned "thoughtfulness" in this category at least - no doubt in no small part due to the efforts of people like Tor's Irene Gallo to raise awarenss of the amazing illustrators we have working currently in the field.
I was also happy with the Best Artist nominations. Four of my five nominees made the list (only Jim Burns missed out), my best showing in any category.
ReplyDeleteI leave my congrats as well, Lou. I looked all over the Pyr blog page looking for mention of it, and was going to chastise you for not posting about your nomination before I realized I wasn't on your personal blog. Man. You have too many of these things. :)
ReplyDeleteAaron - I was very happy too.
ReplyDeleteBrandon - thanks, man. And ha - only two blogs...so far. And I probably cross post too often. I try to separate them out, but sometimes the content is applicable to both, and sometimes I want to make sure something Pyr-related gets seen here at the heavier-trafficked blog. It's a catch-22. If more people checked out the Pyr blog, then I wouldn't crosspost...
Congratulations Lou! Well-deserved!
ReplyDeleteCongradulations on the nomination.
ReplyDeleteBTW, just finally finished reading Paragaea. Loved it.
Hey, thanks!
ReplyDeleteAnd glad you liked Paragaea. Did you read the previous, Here There & Everywhere? I'm about 30 pages from the end of the manuscript for End of the Century, which picks up characters from both, as well as (as I understand it) his upcoming Solaris book, Set the Seas on Fire. I think End of the Century may well be his masterpiece, though I've got a final 30 pages to go before I can pronounce that.
Fantastic, Lou. Congratulations. My fingers are crossed you'll get the nod.
ReplyDeleteHi Karen! Thank you!
