I believe the title is Long Hard Road out of Hell. I bought the book for my cousin as a Christmas present several years ago. When he was finished, he ended up loaning it to me to read - we both agreed it was a riot!

The Gathering Dark (Ice Age cycle book 1)pretty nifty. If they want to make a film of Magic, they should start with this one... I never knew the Rag Man played such a big part, and Barl's Cage would be an excellent punishment nowadays __________________ /Thunder in the wind/No rain/Peace mourns it's passing/"Who wants to wrestle the bald-headed champ?"

Is anyone else here a fan of King's Gunslinger/Dark Tower series?If so, do you know if he has any plans for ever finishing the series, or even writing a fifth book?

The 5th Dark Tower book will be called The Wolves of the Calla and will be released late this year, November if I heard right. As I understand it, the last two or three Tower books will be the last of King's major novels before he retires. __________________ PLEASE REPORT RULES VIOLATIONS!Good advice: "...first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye." - Jesus "Believe nothing...unless it agrees with your reason and your common sense." - Buddha

Hmmmm, now I've got the Metallica song in my head. Cool. I finished Hitchhiker's Guide yesterday.. it was pretty damned amusing, that's for sure. I'll have to pick up the other 4 if I see them used. I think I'm going to re-read some old Clive Barker for the time being. __________________ When you think 8th foils, think-SerraBanger He wants 'em! SOBER- It's the new wasted.

Well, I'm finished with the dictionary, so now I'm on to something else: The Art of War - Sun Tzu. The ROTC building has some cool books, so I guess I'll have to start reading again.__________________ [Email: kluckersmotl@yahoo.com] ◊ [MSN: ljkluckers@hotmail.com] ◊ [AIM: LJKluckers] [Discussion Forum: Disclaimer] ◊ [Trading Forum: Trading Rules]
