Come on man! You had me up til there. I have also starte perusing the local libraries and have found quite a bit of comfort. I also could have gone back and checked out the Gunslinger books by Stephen King (which rule whole-heartedly in their own right) but I would not feel right in reviewing them 25 years too late. You know I love you greatly my friend, but lets have a literary fight! Agatha Christie? Come on man! You had me up til there.
