Hugo reading help requested.

[carbonel]

I've now read Old Man's War, Accelerando, and Spin, thanks to the authors (and Tor) making the books available in electronic form to voting members. Anyone (preferably in the Minneapolis area) have a copy of Learning the World and/or A Feast for Crows that he or she would be willing to lend me? I really want to be able to vote on all five books, but I'm not ready to buy them in hardcover for the privilege of doing so.

We have Learning the World, and markgritter and I have both read it already, so you could borrow it. When would you need it?

[carbonel]

Sometime in May, so I can have it read by the Hugo deadline. Any chance of getting together for coffee this Sunday or next?

Next Sunday I'm going to be in GR, and this Sunday I already have plans. Hmmm. I'm driving up to Minn-Stf in the evening this Saturday, so if you're going to be there I can pass it along then, and if you're not I could drop by on my way if you were going to be home.

I'll be at the Minn-stf meeting on Saturday, so that works.

This sounds alarmingly like a plan, then.

If (big if) I make it to Lake Nokomis in the morning, I'll try to remember to bring along my (yet unread) copy of Learning the World.

David --

Um, sorry. I didn't hear back from you about today, so I didn't show up this morning -- went to the Bally's instead.

Did you make it there? In any case, Marissa is bringing her (read) copy to the Minn-stf meeting, so I should be set.

Yep, I made it there. It was cold enough that going to Bally's was probably a better idea. I made it around the lake, and it took me less time than it took me on Monday, so that's progress.
