    How can I get my hands on Paul Walker's "Sermons…"?

    I knew I should have picked up a copy while I was there.

  2. Gretchen in Bham says:

    Hey Mike. I just checked with the Bookstore at the Advent. They have two of PW's books in stock.

    Book lists are the best. I meant to bring my copy of Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman (which took determination to get a personal copy of), after having read a post about the book on the blog, to give away. I'll have to add more of the ones I haven't yet read onto my library list.

    Any chance you guys'll be posting recordings of the talks again this year like you did last year? I'd love to re-listen and share them around.

    Thanks! 🙂

    Hawley- They'll be up tomorrow! And they're going to be free again.

    Mike, once the Advent runs out, fear not, i have a connection to the motherlode…

  5. StampDawg says:

    Hawley, I am just elated to hear that you liked NEVERWHERE so much that you wanted to give it away.

    I'm guessing that I was the fellow you heard pushing it on MB last year.

    I'll be writing an article about it in the next month or two. I'd love to hear what you thought of it before I write it. Feel free to drop me a line — DZ has my email.

    Gretchen and Dave,
    Many thanks!
