My parents, knowing that I'm a nerd, gave me $200 for Christmas and suggested that I get every FPW book I could lay my hands on. I got:
The Keep, The Tomb, The Touch, Reborn, Reprisal, Nightworld, Healer, Wheels Within Wheels, An Enemy of the State, The Tery, The Christmas Thingy, Dydeetwon, Blackwind, Fifth Harmonic, Demonsong, Barren & Others, and Soft & Others. I already had all the RJ books, as well as Masque, Nightkill, Sims, The Select, Deep as the Marrow, and I think one or two others. Am I missing anything?

A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.

That's a nice Christmas gift! Did you find all of those at a store or did you buy them online?
Online...the bookstores here in SC are not very good. There isn't even a used bookstore in Columbia. No wonder we're in the bottom 5 for education :/

Wow! They are great! You have wonderful parents, haven't you?
You forgot Sibs.
Hmm...thats the one where the twin sister is tying to figure out how her sister died? That one looked like it had a lot of sex in it, which means I'll pass. Thanks for the reminder though...I'd forgotten about it.

Oops! A lot of sex is forbidden in your home? Sorry. :p
But hey, it's a novel, not movie (Still, I want to see movie version, though).
C'mon Kenji, you don't visualize what you're reading? Books are just as bad as movies - have you ever read one of those sleazy romance novels? But yeah, lots of sex is not viewed as appropriate in my home.

No, I've never read sleazy romance novels. How 'bout you? Have you ever read Sibs?

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. ... The piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.
~ Howard Phillips Lovecraft
Congrats on your 2,000 post, by the way. I picked up a sleazy romance novel when I was waiting to get my haircut, and couldn't put it down fast enough. And nope, I've never read Sibs. Was it good?
