Summary: 

Two items:

(1) Someone posted a description of THX 1138 that he mistakenly called
UBX.  Wasn't there a book about some kind of aerosol spray called UBX?

(2) I just read _THE SONG OF MAVIN MANYSHAPED_ by Sheri Tepper, a prequel
to the TRUE GAME series.  I found the book better than the TRUE GAME
books.  I think Tepper has learned to write a bit better and to construct
a plot much better.  I reccommend the book.

Going back and reading the TRUE GAME series again, I came up with a couple
of questions.  "Strange are the Talents of Wizards..."  Fine, but what are
they?  Anyone have any guesses?  None of the wizards in the story ever
use any Talents (at least openly) and Winslow never even realized he was
part Wizard.  That at least argues that Wizards have no Talent other than
cunning.

Also, Sorah's prediction at the end of _WIZARD'S ELEVEN_.  I haven't got it
with me at the moment, but any guesses as to the plot it might lead to?
Sounds vaguely like an exorcism, what with book, candle and bell.
