so say what ?:confused:

[OU4LIFE]

I enjoyed the series, C_P, but IMO the 2nd book was by far the worst of the three.

Let me know if you felt the same. I really need something else to read now....but I have no idea what. Some of the stuff Crawfish talks about seems intriguing, but it IS craw, so I just don't know...

[Xstnlsooner]

DAYUM! I didn't know 4life could read or does he just have the
cd versions? heh

[OU4LIFE]

all of my books have piktures. mamma reads them to me.

;)

I'm buying it tonight.

So far, everybody who I've recommended it to has loved it. If you happen to enjoy hybrid fantasy/horror/detective stories, I should have nothing to worry about. :)

Could you please recommend it to me? I might want to read it sometime.

Oh, I've got a few recommendations for you.

I wouldn't say I loved it, Clark....but I think your big toe is safe. I just finished book #3, and really want to get books 4-9 asap. The first one was a little slow getting going, but the second two were quite good. Your recommendation = PASS.

Hey C_P, finish that Odd book yet?

[crawfish]

Cool!

[OU4LIFE]

C_P is a bastard for not replying.

[sanantoniosooner]

C_P is a bastard for not replying.
no....YOU ARE........for expecting him to reply while he's busy reading.

[OU4LIFE]

shut-up, non reader

[sanantoniosooner]

I read a lot.

It beats having to hear your voice.

[critical_phil]

Hey C_P, finish that Odd book yet?

no, i haven't even started it yet. i've got 2 other DK books going right now.


but i did buy it. the wal-marts has it in paperback now.

[OU4LIFE]

just finished book 6 that I got for Christmas. Buying book 7 on the way home tonight. I already have book 8 that I got for Christmas also....I think book 10 comes out in April...perfect timing...I should just be finishing up book 9 about then.

and C_P is still a bastard for not giving me constant updates on his book reading.

[critical_phil]

no, i still haven't even started Brother Odd. i'm still making my way through Velocity at the rate of 1 1/2 pages per bowel movement.

and technically, my wife is the bastard because she's making me hold down a steady job. i've had 4 days off in the past 36 days.

[StoopTroup]

Here's a review on Velocity.

I read the review in like 2 minutes. :D

o.k.

finished Velocity today. starting Brother Odd now.


i'll post in this thread when finished for a review.....should be ~July. -ish

[OU4LIFE]

Someone's being a little overly optimistic...

Book 9 in the Harry Dresden series comes out in paperback this week...then the new book comes out in April. really good series.

[critical_phil]

well, i do have a extra ****ing ten dollars. maybe i'll buy a Dresden book next.

[OU4LIFE]

You can buy Storm Front, the first Dresden File book for 5.99, that'll leave some change for a coke to go with it.

I think I might just hafta check this one out.

[OU4LIFE]

Bob, do yoursefl a favor and buy the first three books all at the same time. That way you will be forced to continue past the first one, which is IMO the worst of them all. The 3rd book is exceptional.

[Sooner_Bob]

Sounds like a plan . . . I've got a ton of paperbacks I need to try and sell or trade in anyway.
