Or we could pick a paperback if that's a bit too pricey.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Seconded the Kindle thing."You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours."--General Sir Charles James NapierComment

There's a thought, as long as Guynemer doesn't mind us criticizing it

I don't think he'd mind, so long as it was paid for.

Does this mean my scheme for free baby-poo assessments has been dashed?
Still, it seems logical that a Poly book club should start with a Poly author (of which I don't think there are any, and this being the next closest thing).Comment

I would love to join this book club! Count me in starting April 1st.

I still have a hard back copy of his Elium series (the one with the Ruby Knight) which I bought back in the late 80's to early 90's and recently reread last year. It struck me as entertaining but not very original (very formulaic), filled with unoriginal character types, and most of the characters tended to be either totally good or totally bad with very little character development. In short, David Eddings writes rather crappy fantasy.Originally posted by SlowwHand View PostTry http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.Comment
