Things a Tim Powers Protagonist Wouldn't Say:

• "Actually, I have quite a bit of experience with magic."



• "Old scars? Nope, none of those."



• "Please continue. This is all very interesting."



• "The Fisher King? You've been reading too many fantasy novels."



• "I've got a wife back home."



• "I'll do it, for the good of mankind."



• "I won't be much help to you in a fight."



• "No thanks; I don't drink."

So, which one are you reading now?

There's more than one?

(The Drawing of the Dark)

The ark one has a demon in lieu of general magical aether. Is good.

I have generally enjoyed his work, but I think that optimal enjoyment will involve me not reading any two of his books too close together.

This. Both halves of this.

No, there's not more than one

(there's only The Anubis Gates)

I'm quite fond of both of those, and also Last Call and On Stranger Tides.

The about-to-be-released Steven Brust novel has a good Tim Powers joke in it :-)
