Hornblower - C.S. Forrester
The original sea stud.
Richard Sharpe - Bernard Cornwell
Even more stud than Hornblower.
Travis McGee - John D. McDonald
A cooler kind of guy.
Nancy Drew - Carolyn Keene
The original liberated chick. She rocked.
James Bond - Ian Fleming
Fairly different from the movies.
The Lord of the Rings - J.R.R. Tolkien
Really amazing.
Atlas Shrugged - Ayn Rand
Long enough to be a series.
Greg is writing a book, it's about self analysis. Don't expect it on the shelves any time soon, he is very lazy about working on this project, like most of his others. He's also working on a book about reinventing marriage, about how MBA's are helping the lawyers to ruin the country and disasters. Most people think he's the last person you should take marital advice from.
Greg just finished "The Sun Also Rises" and his favorite part was the end:
"Oh, Jake," Brett said, "we could have had such a damned good time together."
Ahead was a mounted policeman in khaki directing traffic. He raised his baton. The car slowed suddenly pressing Brett against me.
"Yes," I said. "Isn't it pretty to think so?"
