Really? Is it really impossible for you to look at that book cover and determine who the author might be?

Un admin ne doit faire aucun tort à un noob, à moins qu'il trouve un moyen de prouver qu'en fin de compte le tort qu'il aura causé profite le forum en général!

Yes.

The author is Isaac Asimov. Not Lije Baley & R. Daneel Olivaw.

S'allright Elffy, he's just trolling.

~Aldin, who thinks a bored timefighter should go do something else for a while

Instead of wasting TIME.

I'm not trolling. I really thought the authors were Lije Baley & R. Daneel Olivaw. I'm really sorry. Will you forgive me and get rid of my infraction Aldin? I didn't mean to bait you.

OK, back on track..

"Always Enough" by Rolland & Heidi Baker. Kind of a pentacostal missionary memoir. I find it inspiring. I'm teaching a night class on mission methods using it as the text.. makes a good catalyst for discussions.

I just fished Eusebius' History of the Church, and it was one of the longest things I've read in a long while, not actually length, but it took me a while to plow through it.

Back to A Mouth Sweeter than Salt, with a little Magdalena, Blood Divine thrown in.

There were a couple times I thougt I'd sit down and read Eusibius' book. I never got far. Maybe now that I'm older I should try again.

This weekend, I managed to read two more tales from Stephen King's Skeleton Crew collection.

I finished up Mrs. Todd's Shorcut which I started on my last visit to my cabin (I keep the book up there). This is a really interesting tale. As I write the story's title, I wonder if King based the character and story's premise on Mr. Toad and his own wild ride

Then I jumped right into the next tale, The Jaunt.
Whoah. What an interesting sci-fi tale (the term jaunt coming directly from The Stars My Destination) with a nice pre-code horror comic ending that creeped up on me and freaked out this father of young, impressionable children.


Then I started in to read Philip Jose Farmer's Lord Tyger* for a second reading in about 10 years. I brought this book home with me and hope to continue the book in my spare time.

* Googling about I learned The Stars My Destination was originally called Tiger! Tiger! from William Blake's The Tyger. I'm sure the same 'tyger' spelling indicates Blake influenced Farmer too.

Wow, Hex, that's my favorite collection by King, and "The Jaunt" is my favorite story in the bunch. I also like "Ballad of the Flexible Bullet," and "Survivor Type," which is pretty gruesome, but pretty good.

I recently read his newest collection, Just After Sunset. Anyone else read this one yet?
