    HAHA, I was asking because I have used it for chicks. Seems to work well.

      You mean "Wheel of Endlessness" don't you? I just got Julie the latest book in that series... its title was, I think, "I'd Rather Be Writing Another Conan Book".

      Going to start the Harry Pothead books after I'm done with WoT.
      Since Jordan will never finish WoT, does that mean you will never read Harry Potter?

          It is starting to look that way, his last few books have gone almost nowhere. They are still good, and since I didn't have anything better to do....

            Footfall by Niven and Pournelle

            I scour the second hand bookshops for sf and horror. Got quite a collection going. Probably never get round to reading them all again - got quite a few to get through before I start re-reading, anyway

            For the sf, I usually aim a little higher than the current book, but it's certainly readable.

                IPsec (RFC 2401-2411, 2451) These aren't really books though.

                IPSec VPN Acceleration Services Module Installation and Configuration Guide

                And I'm also reading some internal engineering documents related to the VPN hardware so i know how it interacts iwth the backplane of our switches and how the packets travel through the ASICs. My head hurts

                        Re-reading "She" by H. Rider Haggard (for about the hundredth time).

                        Has anyone else noticed that Alley Oop has really gone downhill since writer Dave Graue retired?

                              2 books on the go at this moment:
                              Light fiction: a Tom Clancy
                              Non-fiction: A book written by two UK journalists on the history leading up to the Cyprus problem. Heavy going, but it really lashes into both the Brits and the Americans for what is happening now. In particular, Kissinger is the arch-villain. There is no substantial new material, but a useful collection of data, with much detail.

                                Ahh, The Silmarillion, now that is realy a GREAT book. Stop at the end of the first era though.

                                Just finished my last project and now, as of today, my 3 months leave starts YEEAHHE!

                                Going to the lib with my wife in an hour to get us some books. I may let you know what I got myself....
