Hell, it was hard to get any GUYS to admit they read/liked Fantasy or SciFi. Now it's practically a badge of honor. Just this week I ran into one of my friend's ex wives, she was reading the new Thomas Covenant book; one of my wife's coworkers, reading one of the many Dragonlance sequels; and one of my daughters friends reading one of the older Sanctuary/Thieves World collections. I had interesting conversations with all three about their choice in reading material; It's nice to think that if I was 20years younger my choice of literature would be downright acceptable. Just think, I could actually use fantasy reading material to PICK UP GIRLS: "Hey, I notice you are reading some Eddings there, ever try The Sword of Shannara?"Mike B.

I figure I will wait until he finally finishes the last book and then I will start over again. I may skip book 4 as well...possibly the most snore-inducing book I have ever read.

I WAS that female nerd, as there were not many female engineering students at UF then - about 1 in 50! My roommate and I couldn't wait for "White Gold Wielder". Now my daughter was mad for the Robert Jordan books when she was in middle school, and so I thought she would like Thomas Covenant. Boy did she ever turn her nose up at them! But now I will definitely seek the new Covenant book out. Thanks for letting me know it is out there!
