3. Talking about books and recalling things I read years ago. My favourite recall was a Robert Silverberg book -- Gilgamesh in the Outback -- Gilgamesh is wandering hell having lost his friend Enkidu after a disagreement. He runs into Robert E.

Howard spends the rest of the story trying to shed Lovecraft so he can hang out with Gilgamesh, who resembles Conan in lots of ways.
In and out, cool skid and peppercorns.
