Three of the best trilogies out there. I'm waiting for them all myself.

'To the Outhouse' by Willie Maket, illustrated by Betty Wont 'All About Flowers' by Chris Anthymum 'The Bearded Chinaman' by Harry Chin ...just to name a few.

Why would you use it in anger? That would seem counterproductive.

It's the kind of web site that starts you off at a slow boil, and works you up to full blown anger pretty quickly. For example: The "current page" status is stored in cookies, but takes no account of the session - so if you open the "fantasy" books and then the "science fiction" books in a different tab, "Next page" on the "fantasy" tab takes you to Sci-fi page two. Right clicking on a book link and "open in a new tab" opens the text "javascript:subform('item#9780141918853-6','')" rather than the book itself. And so on...it's as if the site was constructed by the Forces of Evil to raise the level of annoyance in the world. :laugh:

My local library does loan eBooks in ePub format, but the website is so poor that I haven't used it in anger yet.

More Amber books a la Roger Zelazny. Unfortunately he's dead.
If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.-John Q. Adams
You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.-Albert Einstein -

I'm awaiting the soft-cover release of the next "Pendergast" [^] novel by Preston & Child. I read way too much buy hard cover.

I don’t think there is a software developer who doesn’t know what is “O'Reilly”. I just don’t like most of their "books". Or should I say “technical references”.
