There is something lithe and elegant about your characters, their posture, their everything, no matter what they’re doing. It’s absolutely glorious and I love that those glimpses into their lives are shared like this. Thank you πŸ’›πŸ’š

If you haven’t read them - Roger Zelazny, the Amber series is just magnificent. Jack of Shadows is excellent too - the guy didn’t write a bad book.
There’s the obvious Anne McCaffrey - the Pern series, also Crystal Singer.
M. John Harrison’s β€œViriconium” paints a vivid picture of a strange future.

A song that is a duet

Just have to add this song, from Peter Gabriel’s show β€œOvo” for the Millennium Dome. Originally performed by Paul Buchanan (Blue Nile) and Liz Fraser (Cocteau Twins), this is PG with his daughter Melanie.

Beautiful, isn’t it! It was performed but Sting explained that it didn’t make it into the β€œLast Ship” musical. I hadn’t heard of Jo before but her voice, and her delivery of that song - absolute gold.
