Whiskey for my Men, Beer for my Horses by Toby Keith with Willie Nelson Yes, we raise up our glasses against evil forces.. singin' whiskey for my men, beer for my horses...

http://www.unshelved.com I just, within the past couple of months, stumbled across this hilarious comic strip called Unshelved (previously "Overdue"), which follows the trials and tribulations of the library staff of a public library. And yes, as a library staff member myself, we do get...

For favorite authors, I have three that will always stay on their thrones as authors in my heart.. and one revolving author, following whatever I'm into at the moment. Homer, the Blind Poet Professor J.R.R. Tolkien J.K. Rowling ..and Harry Turtledove

C is for Captain Nemo by Kevin J. Anderson

Nope.. just silly people that drag their plants that live well in more moist climates to the desert and require more water than old Lake Mead can supply. :mad: to these "master-planned communities" with their golf courses. Anywho.. </rant>

Perhaps certain parts of Nevada are deserted. However, the city that I live in is one of the fastest growing cities in the States. Really do wish people would keep non-desert plants out of the desert. Darn allergies have been acting up as of late.

o,O ? Eh? Whatcha mean by that? --- Glad to be here, sanyuja. :) Once you get attached to certain books, you KNOW when they're gone. -- Thank you, Ice. Question for you.. how is that Last Kingdom? Bernard Cornwell's a pretty good author.. that one looked interesting.. not sure if I...

Excellent thread idea! So far, I've been to... Middle-Earth and Arda with J.R.R. Tolkien (The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion) 17th century Venice with Eric Flint and Andrew Dennis (1634: The Galileo Affair) 21st century American city of Grantville, West Virginia in 17th century...

I really do hate this question, yet people continue to ask it. :P I do not have one. I do not have three. So I'm going to give you my favorites in no particular order. Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, and The Silmarillion by J.R.R. Tolkien Harry Potter and the... by J.K. Rowling The...

Thanks there, Infinity. About your question.. not "officially", no. I'm considered a library assistant. A librarian has to have the official degree and can be the only one to do certain things (such as sign papers for inter-library loans and work on collection development). We...

I just finished reading the first book of the Saga of the Seven Suns by Kevin J. Anderson, Hidden Empire. Now, I'm not what you'd call a real sci-fi enthusiast. Sure, I'll read an odd Star Wars book every now and again.. but you'd find me in the historical fiction and fantasy sections before...

I'm definitely a user of my local public library.. and being an employee of that same library has absolutely nothing to do with it.. (Well.. it is nice not to have fines.. ;) ) I absolutely hate getting books for myself. Why should I buy a brand new copy and read it once, letting it collect...

Just started on the second book of the Saga of Seven Suns series by Kevin J. Anderson, A Forest of Stars. The library director that I work for suggested them to me.. not too shabby so far.

Greetings from the Book Master. :D Looks like a pretty nifty board you guys have here. Very nice. Hm.. s'pose I should tell you all a bit about me. Book-wise, I'll probably read anything and everything.. except romances, westerns, and horror. However, if you give me a good historical...

My vote goes to Gandalf the White, Maiar of Manwe and Varda. Why you ask? Mainly because of the mythological linkage that he provides in The Lord of the Rings. Eru must've wanted the Free Peoples of Middle-earth to win, or he wouldn't've sent good ol' Olorin. XD Plus.. look at his...

:eek: I did not see Professor Tolkien nor Ms. Rowling on your list -- I highly suggest those two great fantasy writers.
