The thing I think is fucked up about Harry having a kid with Susan is that I really want to see Harry and Karrin finally say “fuck it” and get together, ya know what I’m sayin’?

I am already 75% through \*\*Storm Front \*\*and I really like it (obviously, since I just downloaded it last night.) As a Chicagoan, I do wince at some of the description’s of the city (midtown, 10th Street, etc.) But the action is pretty descriptive and the plot is pretty damn original.

For a reference point, what year was this first book published? It is driving me nuts that Harry is alaways using pay phones to call people.

2000 but Harry tends to make electronics go haywire so he doesn’t use them.
