Yeah, sorry :\

The series managed to finish *before* PAD bought his first class tickets for the failboat, so I am mentally filing it with YJ as 'there is no mental conflict if I am not actively following it atm lalala'.

(OTOH, I have been known to pick up books by Orson Scott Card ETA: and Dave Sim /ETA occasionally, so it may be a case of compartmentalization: my secret power. )

Yeah, I'm not worried about anything about PAD I've already read, but I now will feel odd about going and hunting down things that I haven't read already.

But compartmentalization is good. I am def. down with the theory that "It's not what the author says elsewhere, it's what's IN THE TEXT."

...I'm still not capable of reading Dave Sim. Or Orson Scott Card, but that's actually more that the last few things I read by him just Weren't Very Good.

I once saw a preview of a semi-recent book by Card. OMG it was terrible. See also: his Iron Man. But his early stuff, that seems pretty good what I've read.

I wish PAD had either kept his mouth shut or been more willing to listen... like you said about the hunting stuff down, it'll be impossible to read new stuff or rec old stuff without the fail colouring it in an ugly fashion. But his writing, it is still *good*. Dammit :S

...I guess that's a common sentiment around RaceFail. Swap out PAD's name for a list.

IMO, Card definitely did have an early, better period, although you can see the origins of the stuff that would later take over his work.

Although that's also when he wrote the tentacoo wape, so.
