Recruits!!! - Oxenberger - 07-26-2008
I was recruited years ago while down the shore. I was lent a copy of The Select, read it in one night. I was hooked. I've recruited my wife, most of her family and their significant others (10+), friends, neighbors, co-workers, and the mailman!
You can see some of my story in the thread New bargain editions post #28.
Cheers,
Ox

Re-read Bloodlines and By the Sword... He is! and he is rather spooked by it.

I brought another convert aboard the other day. Gave him The Tomb and Legacies and The Keep. He came by yesterday and plundered my already sparse collection of my third copy of Black Wind and my Conspiracies, All The Rage and Hosts PBs. I'm usually 3 deep on everything but there's almost nothing "left in stock" right now. I've got 5 going right now.
I need an excel spreadsheet to keep track of everything.....

Wouldn't it be a gas and a half to have Paul sign one of your books as P. Frank Winston?:tongue:

I was converted in either June or July last year. Some friendly Borders employee found me staring blankly at the horror section, not sure what to pick up (I had already gone through all the Dean Koontz and Stephen King I had any interest in). I hadn't read a book in years, but wanted to start again. I read through the Tomb in a few days, then finished all the published RJ books in about 6 months. That was followed by several others. Now I've started collecting too.
I've purchased several copies of the Tomb to give away (keep buying out the local Borders) and have also loaned out a copy a few times. I think I've tried to convert 5 people with an actual book, and several verbally. Not bad for just a year! Most seemed to like it, but I haven't followed up to see if they read any others.

She read all of Japanese edition RJ novels, AC, and other Japanese edition's stuff. She get mad she still can't read Crisscross....:nonod:
So sometimes I say "I do read it for you". But she says "No! Stop it! I want to read it by my own eyes!" :nono:
I think I might have converts I don't know about; I requested my public library to get the old Jack books they were missing, and order the new ones as they've come out. I hope to have converted some strangers
