Daywatch

Sergei Lukyanenko, on BroaD

This is the second in Lukyanenko's Soviet-style "the fight between good vs evil reduced to a bureaucracy" trilogy. I know I've used Nightwatch, but the very unreliable search function doesn't come up with this one.

Last Watch

Sergei Lukyanenko, on KapitaL

The 4th book in Lukyanenko's trilogy (yes, I know) of the conflict between good and evil.

By the way, JoanK is probably the only person I know who has actually read Das Kapital.

S and E are optional. The only one anyone apologizes for is N, which isn't optional, but a lot of us are running out of Ns. Thanks for getting us off the hook.

She

Also by H. Rider Haggard

on mineS

We don't have to apologise for e's and s's, because we can skip them. But "n" is becoming a problem.

Remember, we can skip the letters S E X Y.

We could make a rule to skip "n"s, but then it would be "SNEXY" WICH DOESN'T HAVE THE SAME RING.

Half Life

Hal Clement, on SHe

Sci-fi, in which the happy ending is that the scientists in an off-world colony, dying of various environment-related diseases, realize that they will be able to get a bit more research done before they collapse. (Don't laugh, for a scientist that is a happy ending.)

PatH · « **Reply #2106 on:** August 12, 2010, 12:16:27 AM »

I would be glad to settle for being SNEXY rather than SEXY if I could get rid of the dreaded N. I had a really neat title for She, but it ends in N, and I won't do that. We tried to put it to a vote once, but got only a tepid response.
