Maybe you've read Where Eagles Dare, or seen the movie.

Me too. And if you love Asia and its culture (especially Japan), you should try reading Yoshikawa too. His books are just great! The action in both Musashi and Taiko takes place around the same historical period as in Shogun.

WOW! I can't wait to get the rest of them. Hope Robert Jordan will be allright and finish the last one pretty soon. Thanks, guys.

Milky cows rain? That's good for your beauty!

Why? It's probably gonna rain with calfs.

Beer? Oh, that explains it. You need some Red Bull to get this beauty out of the clouds!

Nay, this won't work, since it's not the rear part that needs to be fed, but ze brain. Why don't you use the good ol' Pavlov effect? Conditioning ... eureka, this is it!!! Whenever anyone says cheese, you would imagine a big tasty chunk rebelling (sorry, I meant revelling) in your mouth.

Oh yeah, Pope's most faithful knight? Before the day is through doesn't count. Try it by night, in fair combat, with a bucket of Holy Water or some arrows of immolation. Or some garlic. No, no, no, my mistake, wrong equipment, that's for vamps, ain't it? Ouch, with my bad memory I don't think...

I've read Scarlett some years ago. It's not that bad, it's just...soo different.

RoTK OK, here it goes: My dear ass, your pack is lying by your bed, and you had it on your back when I met you. He saw it all the time, of course. And anyway I have some stuff of my own. Come on now! Longbottom Leaf it is. Fill up while I run and see about some food. And then let's be easy for...
