Welcome back!! I felt kinda mean too. Smile

You'd think that Killing people would make them like you, but it doesn't! it just makes people dead.

I quite like Harlan Coben. Especially his Myron Bolitar series. They're crime/thrillers, but they are also quite amusing.

I enjoy Harlan Coben, too. THE WOODS was quite good. I must admit, I get all of his titles mixed up. Can't quite remember which title goes with what action.

Reading is freedom.
The mind soars, no earthly cares,
no limitations.

Years ago my mother used to say to me... "In this world, Elwood, you can be oh so smart or oh so pleasant."
Well, for years I was smart.
I recommend pleasant.
You may quote me.

As Im on this forum I do not need to say that I am a horror or thriller fan. But i am also a comedy fan.

Please tell me somebody on here has something I havent read. I can spend hours in a bookstore and I either find nothing worth even reading in the store, or I find good stuff... but i have read it al already.

Fiction by Colin Wilson:
THE MIND PARASITES
THE PHILOSOPHER'S STONE

If thoughtful sf/horror is your delight, Legion, I GUARANTEE you will not be disappointed.

Oh, SNAP!!!!

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.

Jim, we know the Texas phrase, "All hat, no cattle."
How's about we have one on our board here...just in general, not the last discussion...

All bark...no tree.

"That" is used to refer to animals or objects.

The only problem here is figuring out which of you is the moron, and which is the horses ass. :dontknow:
