Ender in Exile background assistance requested.
	It's been so long since I have read the original 4 Ender Books, and re- read Ender's Game itself a few years later, that I have forgotten how much of what I am reading in the new Ender in Exile is just an expansion of what was previously discussed in the earlier books.

It was written in a very direct style,... more » By pamwink...@gmail.com  - Dec 3 - 4 new of 4 messages

Girl Genius, December 3, 2008

Again we have the Foglios to thank for the benificence of another page of the adventures of Lady Agatha Heterodyne, the eponymous Girl Genius. Two in-jokes grace the page, neither of which I managed to note myself, but which were spotted by other eagle-eyed readers in other forums. The wand borne by Zeetha bears upon it the legend "Ral Partha", which... more » By John Savard  - Dec 3 - 2 new of 2 messages

	Zafon's _Shadow of the Wind_ - specfic or not?
	The question's in the subject, really. Locus has dubbed it literary fantasy. I read it recently and didn't find any fantasy or supernatural elements in it.
