About meI read a lot of books. A lot. The time that most people spend on pesky activities like managing their investment portfolios, supervising their kids' education, or cleaning the house, I spend reading. I mainly read fantasy and mysteries, but I'm also interested in history, particularly regarding Queen Elizabeth I, 19th century women's fiction, and anything else that might catch my eye. I average about two books a week, not counting the ones I read online.

Thoroughly enjoyed The Smoke (Jethro Mysteries) by Tony Broadbent. Thank you for the recommendation. Another good read I never would have picked up on my own. Going to get the second book sometime this summer.

I'm glad my Four Freedoms review was useful to you. I had the bewildering feeling, much like when I first read AEgypt (i.e. The Solitudes) in 1988, that few other readers could be getting as much sense out of the book as I was. Some of Crowley's recondite interests seem to track my own pretty well.

Dreaming tree I mentioned before is a compilation of the two Tree of Swords books that you have read. Morgaine is the series of 4 books featuring her (white hair, pale, grey eyes and a massive sword Changeling) and her companion Vayne honourable knight as they travel between worlds and times trying to close the Gates that permit such travel. Ring any bells?

Just passing by - I read your review for Fortress of Ice. Have you read much of Cherryh's other works? She has some more mainstream fantasy in the Dreaming Tree, and a crossover work in the highly aclaimed Morgaine Cycle. A lot of the rest of her books are nominally SF but the science is very limited, focusing on people rather than technology.

Keep reading!
Fox.
