My apologies to FPW.
There we go again. This isn't the first time Mike and I have effectively taken over one of FPW's threads by nattering at one another.
I've deleted my non-subjective posts, and hopefully Mike will do the same.

Well, future generations will want to study every precious word of mine...
But, sure.

The Tomb was the first non military book....? That's awesome!

FPW,
Have you ever posted about your Authors at Sea experience, speaking of cruising? Alas, I found RJ after the opportunity would've been there to sail Carnival with my new found fave. Just curious. As much as I've grown to love both cruising the Caribbean and the RJ novels, I'd love to see some of that bleed over as a viable storyline.
Thanks.

I'm still disappointed you didn't invite your Indian A-Law consultant along for the cruise. We could have done flaming tequila shots without the threat of Tony incinerating us.

Ever see yourself doing another Author cruise?
(I have a 100% conversion rate. ANYONE I've given a Jack book too has gone on to become a rabid reader of all things Jack - heck, even my converts have gone on to covert more....RJ Forever!

Is this the Japanese love story book? (or something like that?)
Its the only FPW book at the Camp Arifjan library here in Kuwait. I haven't checked the library here on my post, but I'm not keeping my fingers crossed for any FPW here.
