I have read a couple of e-books, both were Agatha Christie mysteries from Project Gutenberg. I used Spacejock Software's yReader which has a sort of fake parchment look to it. While I found it reasonably easy to do, it tied up the computer unnecessarily. I would much prefer a portable...

After a rather drunken and late night Xmas party, I have a marching cadence stuck in my head. I wish all the ladies... (I wish all the ladies) Won't go on, as this is a family forum

Snoops. Greg the Bunny. What happened in Pretender after the explosion in the train tunnel? We never got anything in NZ after that episode. Or was that the end. Not very satisfactory if it was.

Try some of his short stories. Amazon has 50 in 50, which has a good sample. I recommend 'The Streets of Ashkelon' - I'm not sure if it is in this selection, I read it years ago in The Best of HH.

It sounds a bit like Thorns, by Robert Silverberg, although I don't remember the regrowing of organs. Healer, by Paul F Wilson, does have that ability, but his comes from an alien symbiote.

Butterfly, by Kathryn Harvey? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0595347800/qid=1136172050/sr=2-1/ref=pd_bbs_b_2_1/002-2185515-3218464?s=books&v=glance&n=283155

A combination of Google and Amazon's search inside book feature got me http://www.amazon.com/gp/reader/0743246039/002-2185515-3218464?v=search-inside&keywords=vodka%20mcgovern I think that is the book.

something by Kinky Friedman - maybe Ten Little New Yorkers?

Three men were standing in line to get into heaven one day. Apparently it had been a pretty busy day, though, so Peter had to tell the first one, “Heaven’s getting pretty close to full today, and I’ve been asked to admit only people who’ve had particularly horrible deaths. So what’s your story?”...

The Emperor's Panda bby David Day? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0396090362/104-6083031-6754350?v=glance&n=283155&s=books&v=glance

Johnny Tremain by Esther Forbes http://btobsearch.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?btob=Y&endeca=1&isbn=0440942500&itm=4

Just finished 'All Our Yesterdays' by Robert B Parker. A story of corrupt cops, vengeance and betrayal down through three generations. I liked the book, but didn't like the characters. None of them. Biggest bunch of dishonest people I've ever read about. Just as well Parker is a good...

Robert Louis Stevenson wrote about a kidnapping too, didn't he? What was it called again? Oh yes, 'Kidnapped'. I'm just not sure whether this comes under the description of 'not children' though.

The Technicolor Time Machine by Harry Harrison. Film-making using genuine Vikings, and what happens when you pay them with Bourbon.

I admit to reading a book on the computer. Just once. It was the first Tommy and Tuppence mystery by Agatha Christie. Unfortunately, reading books this way prevents other people from using the PC. I find it a lot slower as well, for some reason. It is also dangerous to read in the bath...

I tend to buy most of my books used, at a 24 hour book sale. I get a years supply and stash them where my wife can't see them and complain about them. For non-fiction and technical books, though, I buy new. If I am going to keep a book, I prefer something tidy looking. As I give away the...

I think the best bargain I have had recently was at a local annual 24-hour book sale where I picked up an $80 and $160 book for the combined total of $1.50 I was pleased to find the more expensive of the two, as I had loaned my copy out some two years earlier on a short term loan to a...

I finally got around to spending today the book vouchers that I got for my birthday two months ago. I brought home 1421, and Tycho & Keppler (originally published in hardcover as The Nobleman and His Housedog). I was looking for something thought-provoking and informative that would last me...

I was under the impression that there was some sort of difficulty in Jackson getting the rights to the story in order to film it. I'm exceedingly vague on details though. I haven't read The Hobbit for years, and I still have the names of the dwarves stuck in my head. Dwalin, Balin, Fili...

I'm another Webshots user, so mine changes regularly. Every 15 minutes in fact. At the moment it is a desert landscape. I have no icons on it at all, either. I don't like to spoil the pictures.
