Selling bearings

Thanks - that is it - great description of the internal mountain structures..... Something else in a book - not the normal cowboy - but a Pilot.

You take one lousy week off to join Thorax at the Elvis concert, and this is what happens: Gunner Asch writes on Tue, 13 Dec

Fiction has to be plausible, History is what happens when people don't follow the script.

oy.

Yep. Imagine what would happen if an author wrote a book or script where the first battle of a war started in some guy's front yard, and he moved thousands of miles away after that.

Then four year later, the surrender for that war is signed in his living room.

Never happen, right? That author would be a laughing stock.

Jim, I am dying of curiosity, please shed light on this!

The man's name was wilmer mclean and the us civil war started practically in his front yard, and ended when grant and lee signed the surrender documents years later, in his house.

Anyone who wrote that into a script or a book would be called crazy.

L'Amour? All of them are good.

Do a google..and start reading the beginning book in the Sackettes series..and read your way through them.

They also show up with some regularlty on the binary flood newsgroup.

Someone I know has about 2 gigs of books on one of my..er..his hard drives..if you want to read em. Including all of the LAmour books...and Heinlein and and and and......

Drop me an email and Ill ask him to send you whatever you want.

"Pax Americana is a philosophy. Hardly an empire. Making sure other people play nice and dont kill each other (and us) off in job lots is hardly empire building, particularly when you give them self determination under "play nice" rules.

Think of it as having your older brother knock the shit out of you for torturing the cat." Gunner

Sig material!!

No, Norway (aka Nevil Shute.)

I've read all of Heinlein's, Bradbury's, Clarke's, and Larry Nevin's wondrous stuff. I've read all of Isaac Asimov's output twice now and am working through the locally available list of Andre Norton. About halfway now.

I much prefer a lightweight book I can curl up with, thanks. Tell your friend (LOL) that I won't need his bootlegged eye-burners after all.

Did you catch that xmas song link I posted yesterday?

He has them in PDA formats as well, if you carry a PDA

Another author I simply love reading is Robert Asprin.

Google Myth Adventure, Mything in Action, and so forth

Good fun reading.

No, I didnt.

I'm too old to PDA, even with bifocals.

I happened onto a book, "Song in the Silence" from my niece, which led me to read all 3 of Elizabeth Kerner's enticing books on dragons, but I'm not much for myth and fantasy, preferring sci-fi.

I think Dad left a L'Amour book for me and I may yet read it.

You did (the ode to chipmunks) since I saw your laughing reply later in that thread.

email me a valid email addy..and Ill send you a couple L'Amours you may enjoy. Reading them off the computer is easy to get used to.

Thanks, you have my email addy but I'll pass anyway. As I already said, my eyes don't like staying glued to the screen for that long and I prefer to read curled up in bed. Books will always have their place in my heart, home, and life. They're one of my few obsessions.

Not to mention that it will eat the paint off metal three feet away.
