Thanks to all for the fine book recs -- I'll have some things to look for at the MegaBooks.

That's in my ever growing to-be-read pile. I'm slogging through Prague, by Arthur Phillips. Sometimes I like it, sometimes I don't. It's taken me forever to finish, though.

Some of those books are a little racy. If you have trouble finding them DO NOT ask a female clerk for help as it may seem a bit forward.

You'd finish B of V in two days. Go for it.

(By romantic, I mean, the heroine gets some, and good, although she had to wait a while for it.)

Me either. I reread after the last discussion of the movie, and I loved the one preview I've seen. May is going to be a good movie month.

God help me, I have high hopes for Star Wars.

Again,

Not sure, but I would agree with Fringey that both are possible. Hell, you'd need the latter for the former use.

I don't see why. She said Hyde was sexy, not you. Your wife said you look like Hyde. You're missing a step.

Wait a minute, wasn't the heroine, like, 14?

I read that recently and had a similar reaction. I have a rec for a companion piece to read afterwards, but I don't recall the title or author just now. I'll post it for you this evening.
