Tia - Have you ever read any Tom Holt? If not, try The Portable Door. Not fantasy like Terry Pratchett, but a comedy about a regular guy who starts his first job in a firm where lots of strange things happen. I'd recommend it!!

That sounds like Piers Anthony On a Pale Horse (Incarnations of Immortality, Bk. 1) - Gave a totally different take on Death.

I'll take a look at Tom Holt though. I always run out of good books. I'm on my 5th in a month. I get the kids down, Shaun is playing video games and I read. That is my down time. Sad part is that my down time typicalls starts after midnight, and I've caught myself at like 2am going shit I have to get up in 4 hours. Shocked

Though I start reading at about 10ish but then don't want to put the book down if it's a really good one! Let me know what you think of Tom Holt!

If you like poetry, a good friend of mine, Greg Gerding, just published his forth book "Loser Makes Good." It is reading that most Clusterheads will completely relate to. Here is one review:

"A colossal voyage of self-exploration, inebriation, social deviation, and intimate relations. I've set sail five times now, and each journey takes me deeper than the one before. Gerding takes a lot of risks with form, style, and content, and they all pay off. There is an unassuming quality to his written voice that takes the reader by the hand and guides them through discovery gently… interacting versus berating. There is a refreshing lack of pretense, and Gerding successfully manages to focus his work on himself without even a hint of self-indulgence or narcissism. We live in a vapid, trite, unforgiving world, and it's so easy to give up and let it roll over you and pin you down. Loser Makes Good is a reminder that it's much more fun to start dancing your own personal jig around the awful world and its awful people, to concentrate on your own music and keep hoping that eventually all the maddening Muzak outside you will fade away." - A. E. Chadwick

Greg is actually looking for other people to review his book, good and bad, if anyone is interested. Here is a link to his page if you dare: Multimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!! You need to

Or, here is a good read, more on the brainy side, I just recently finished. It is called "Emotional Intelligence" by Daniel Goleman. It can be a little intimidating at first, but well worth it. I personally feel it is a must read by all and especially if you have kids.

Happy reading
Thomas

Thanks.. I started looking at his myspace, looks like something I might be interested in reading. I may have to wait until I'm feeling a little bit more cerebral, all my neurons are on a forced sabbatical. Tongue

Wouldn't want to put the burden on the two that are holding down the fort now would I? Cool
