Hey, I will talk about Christopher any day -- he may be a jerk, but he's my jerk and I love him for it. *wry*

Random trivia point: the edition of The Lives of Christopher Chant I first encountered had this cover image



which I thought looked incredibly cool and probably did a lot to interest me in the book in the first place. I mean, random kid in a gaudy tiger skin tunic surrounded by a ring of fire: what's not to like? :-D
