Hello, I recently bought a book for one buck at this internet auction thing. I thought it was a book about old hiking trails in a landscape I lived once or about the 'hikes' people made to go to their work places and back home in the twentieth century. But it was a book about intinerant preachers and how they convert they clientele. Well, the book has one or two laughs in it, but all in all I'm a bit disappointed. Spending the one buck in beer or ice cream would have been more fun . Regards Gyro
Just started Soul of a Highlander by Melissa Mayhue last night. I needed a lighter read after my last two books.

A marina near me has a free book pile and I saw someone had dropped off Journey to Ixtlan so I'm revisiting Castaneda and Don Juan. Just finished a three volume fantasy The Swords Trilogy by Michael Moorcock, he's good at creating strange worlds, civilizations and transporting you there.
Do you like Heart of Darkness? I had to read it for a class last semester, and I did, but I just did not get into it. I don't know. I felt like it all went over my head. I didn't enjoy it at all. And then I had to watch the movie... Maybe I'm doing the wrong degree...
