OH, Jester, I was mistaken. Monsterous Regiment is his latest book. It was ok, but not that great.

[Nope... But I'm gettin' to it... After all - I have to (re)read his entire works before I have anything useful to say about them in my thesis...  ;)

I bought it some weeks back, you can borrow/have it when she's done reading it. Deal?

Yeah, I know what you mean...I usually become obsessed with whatever book I'm reading and at the moment I read every free minute I can... ;D

It took a while, but was worth it. OF course right after that he started sucking really bad. So a bunch of work for nothing. :'(

Nothing? Would you rather have been without? Whatever you do and whatever you read, has an impact on your life and your outloook on life in general...

So whatever you do, you're not reading anything for nothing... Even if it starts to suck, you still got a few good moments you'll remember..

It reminds me of a quote: "Even bad books are books and therefore sacred"...

Oh they were pretty damn good for a while and I enjoyed them, but after he lost his talent, well, it was worthless. Oh, and just because it was a book does not make it sacred. I mean, look at William Shatner's autobiography... ;)
