[quote=Naisy][quote=austuck]NAISY! How great to see your beknighted face around here again!! STAY this time, eh?[/quote] :laugh: I've been trying but its hard!!! How is all? Whats been happening since my last visit?[/quote]

[quote=Austruck]Brian, I still have Tom Gordon sitting here on my coffee table, waiting patiently for me to finish Half-Blood Prince first! Been a weird week here (extended family member in hospital), but I will get HBP finished soon, promise! Then, TG is next....[/quote]

[quote=Strummer521]Yes, but not to me in particular, and I haven't read them yet.  Next time I go to a library or a bookstore or steal a book from a wealthy and influential rich man's library I'll look for the first one and give them a try.  For now I think I'll try The [I]The Straw Men[/I] by Michael Marshall since I have it right here and it's been sitting on the shelf waiting to be read.  Stephen King called it a masterpiece.  Then again it seems like every other book that comes out nowadays has his approval stamped across the cover.  Then again, if you think about it....Stephen King is probably a pretty common name....hmmm.....[/quote]

[quote=LordSlaytan]Okay then...

[u]The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever[/u] by Stephen R. Donaldson.

Have I mentioned those books before?[/quote]

[quote=Strummer521]Actually I've read it.  Therefore I know you just gave me a great recommendation so I'll thank you now.[/quote]

[quote=LordSlaytan][u]The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon[/u] by Stephen King.

You'll thank me later.  :yup:[/quote]

[quote=Strummer521]I think I'll start a new book tonight, a book of my own choosing.  Summer reading assignments be damned![/quote]
