It's just that a) we Hanlons borrow books from one another regularly, and b) I wasn't sure how easy it would be to find here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16549117.post-1171297163741448982007-02-12T11:19:00.000-05:002007-02-12T11:19:00.000-05:00Well, I was actually going to buy a copy and send ...Well, I was actually going to buy a copy and send it to my sister, considering it's only $10 on Amazon.com (though that's no reflection on its quality). <BR/><BR/>As I said, I really didn't think there was anything in it worse than what you would find in a Stephen King novel.the hanged manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06705748701233182866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16549117.post-1171256923006513682007-02-12T00:08:00.000-05:002007-02-12T00:08:00.000-05:00Thanks for the really kind words, Johnny.

I'd chastise these folks who want to <I>borrow</I> your copy rather than <I>buy</I> ones for themselves, but jeez, it's hard when they're your mom and sister. <BR/><BR/>Kudos to "miss stambaugh", though, who indicates she'll get one of her own. <BR/><BR/>To any and all though, I hope you enjoy it. <BR/><BR/>Oh, and Iva, as the author I caution you: it's pretty raunchy in both language and some content. My 66-year-old mother-in-law at dinner tonight said she liked my book (so far), but the language and sex (not that there's much, really) were a bit much for her. Just a friendly, honest bit of warning. It's not a dainty book.Bob Fingermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01985924051708608925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16549117.post-1171256140613144302007-02-11T23:55:00.000-05:002007-02-11T23:55:00.000-05:00Definitely add Octavia Butler to your list (may sh...Definitely add Octavia Butler to your list (may she rest in peace)!
