LostCommand Posted July 5, 2003 Share Posted July 5, 2003 A lot, a whole damn lot. Any good book that comes near is a great target for me. Oldest would be the classics, such as the Count of Monte Cristo, middle ones such as Tolkien and Kahlil Gibran, and recent ones as Tom Clancy (the engineer in me...) I'll skip dinner, sleep, and breakfast the next day, and so report for duty bombed out of my head if I get hold of a good book. I intentionally stay away sometimes... Taipan? Dirk Struan? May-may? lemme look it up it our library at home when I get back to QC rgds LC Quote Link to comment
