Victor Davion Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 Sure, I would be happy to. I'm pretty sure that I still have the last book about the incarnation of Good, "And Eternity". And I think that I also still have the one about the incarnation of Evil, "For Love of Evil". Anyway, I'll put it in my car so that, if ever we meet, I can loan them to you. Wolfie! Wolfie! Got any good sci-fi/fantasy e-books you can send my way? I'm hoping you got some Baen stuff that I don't have. Quote Link to comment
jawwell Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 1. F. Sionil Jose's Rosales saga (i.e. Dusk, Tree, Pretenders, Mass, and My Brother, My Executioner), Viajero, and Ermita. Ermita is my favorite. 2. Peter Bacho's Cebu. 3. Harry Potter Novels. 4. Crichton's Andromeda Strain, Disclosure, Rising Sun, The Congo, and Jurrasic Park. 5. Grisham's Time To k*ll, Rainmaker, and The Firm. 6. Clancy's Sum of All Fears. 7. Toni Morrison's Song of Solomon I'm really glad I read the Crichton and Grisham novels (with the exception of Jurassic Park) before Hollywood made them into movies. The book ending of The Firm is different and more realistic than that of the movie's. The Congo book was more entertaining than the movie. Quote Link to comment
Victor Davion Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 I don't know how many Classic Battletech fiction readers are in MTC, but I'm pretty much happy because with the start of the new www.battlecorps.com service, fans like me get to receive short stories, novellas and serialized chapters, telling thousands of untold tales in the Classic BattleTech universe from such authors as Loren Coleman, Robert Thurston, Randall Bills, Michael Stackpole and more, every single month. The only negative thing is that you have to pay moolah to subscribe (and with the peso's fluctuating value, this can get really painful in the wallet), but hey! sometimes the best things in life do cost something. The good 'ol days of action packed and character driven science fiction are back Quote Link to comment
MA Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 Right now I have Audrey Hepburn's Neck by Jim Brown, I think. I can;t remember na the name of the author. I haven't started reading it, but the reviews were pretty good. I'm hoping to pick up a copy of Da Vinci Code soon. Quote Link to comment
jawwell Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 Can anyone recommend a good Tagalog/English dictionary? I'm struggling through "Anak ng Lupa" because the Tagalog is authentic. I'd appreciate your tips. Quote Link to comment

Hahaha! Well, I just assumed from your nick.... Hehehe..... Hmm, I've seen a trailer of that movie. Looks interesting, but as I've said, I'm almost totally into sci-fi/fantasy right now. Good for you, though. Are you enjoying the book? Quote Link to comment
Fahfrd Posted June 4, 2004 Share Posted June 4, 2004 harry potter 5 suckss!! Hmm, really? I've always been intrigued by that term, "sucks". How is "sucks" different from "blows"? I mean, if a book sucks, can it also blow? Hehehe..... Seriously, did you enjoy the first 4 of the series? Quote Link to comment

Don;t know if I'm willing to spend the dough for it, though. Quote Link to comment
Fahfrd Posted June 4, 2004 Share Posted June 4, 2004 Wolfie! Wolfie! Got any good sci-fi/fantasy e-books you can send my way? I'm hoping you got some Baen stuff that I don't have. Hahaha! Sure, I'm willing to lend books that I've already read. As long as you take care of them. I usually wrap them in plastic and store them in a closet. (I know, I know, I'm weird that way. ) I seriously doubt, though, if I have any Baen books which you don't have. Knowing that you are a subsriber to Baen e-books. I'll have a look at my closet and come up with a list of all the Baen books I have. I'm warning you though, that they're not that many. I'm not really loyal to a particular publisher. Well, except probably TSR. Hehehe..... Quote Link to comment
