The response from the community has been amazing, and it&#39;s great to see that the blog meant so much to so many. Cheers.<br /><br />Mieneke - yes, I&#39;ll still be on twitter.<br /><br />Larry - yeah, it&#39;s been an eventful three years. As for blogging, I may do something further down the line, but it&#39;ll have a totally different focus. My book reviewing days, I expect, are over.<br /><br />Clifton - there&#39;s simply no way the blog could continue in its current format. I could have adapted it, but I feel it&#39;s best to make a clean break.<br /><br />Glenn - all time top 5 greats? I honestly couldn&#39;t say. A Storm of Swords would be in there, certainly. Maybe Viriconium as well.<br /><br />Thrinidir - cheers dude, we&#39;ve had some fun haven&#39;t we? As for publishing and so on, I&#39;m no expert. But maybe down the line if you have any questions about getting into the industry, I will do my best to help. <br /><br />Y. Hara - thanks a lot, glad that even on the other side of the world people were taking the time to read my ramblings!

Flory, your blog has been my &quot;my first port of call&quot; for some time now, and as Murf61 has lauded, you introduced books that I might never have picked up otherwise - which, in turn, I have recommended to others (and introduced them to your blog as well). The Unread are bulwarks for shelved citizens, alternating sentries across the headboard, reserves clustered in closets - of which many are &quot;Speculative&quot; recruits.<br /><br />You introduced me to &quot;A Dribble of Ink,&quot; &quot;The Wertzone,&quot; and &quot;The Speculative Scotsman,&quot; and it saddens me to see that fellowship of respectful review banter at an end. I will just hope that they need not leave these shores as soon.<br /><br />Still, as Neth and C. Hill have expressed, I hope that you find some scope for &quot;Horizons&quot; to cast light upon. (Is there a word for &quot;horizons&quot; on a galactic scale, something concordant with &quot;orbit&quot;?)<br /><br />Well, here&#39;s to hoping!<br /><br />Thank you, and cheers, mate. <br /><br />- Wishing you the best from Indonesia<br /><br />P.S.
