I'm with you here, no need at all for Dresden. Simplest of terms: Revenge.

No idea, I've still got half a shelf full of yours. I've designated one shelf for 'books I've borrowed', that way it is easier to keep track.

There's <counts> at least 4 different UKRMers books sat on it. <waves> I'm afraid my summer reading relapsed in to autobiography again this year, though I did start "Cape Breton Road" by D.R. MacDonald. Reminded me a bit of "A River Runs Through It", but it didn't grab me enough to finish it. Paddy Ashdown's "A Fortunate Life", on the other hand, was excellent. BTW, have you been watching the re-run of "The Crow Road" on BBC4 after Meades "Off Kilter" ? -- +----------------------------------------------------------------+ | Pete Fisher at Home: Peter(a)ps-fisher.demon.co.uk | | Voxan Roadster Gilera Nordwest * 2 Yamaha WR250Z | | Gilera GFR * 2 Moto Morini 2C/375 Morini 350 "Forgotten Error" | +----------------------------------------------------------------+
