Tom at Black Dog just got my order for all three of the Lester Dent volumes, plus a couple others.<br /><br />I don't have any shelf space for them, or time to read them, can't even really afford them, but I had to have them. It's your reviews. Yours and James Reasoners. You guys are killing me. <br /><br />"Help!", he cried feebly, looking out the window to see if perhaps the Mail truck was coming down the street, then replacing the damp washcloth onto his forehead in hopes it would reduce the fever.Richard Robinsonhttp://brokenbullhorn.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4705940625481143611.post-42454610418873620352010-05-12T21:54:48.371-07:002010-05-12T21:54:48.371-07:00He writes well about the weather :}He writes well about the weather :}Cap'n Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11783977137812876489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4705940625481143611.post-35404188257646345942010-05-12T15:40:53.890-07:002010-05-12T15:40:53.890-07:00Wow!

I flopped back in my luxurious office chair (at least the part that hasn't been torn up by the cat) and said to Emily: "Damn it, if I live to be a hundred I'll never be able to write words like that."<br />Emily read the prose and said: "You're right, you won't."<br />Me, after a sulk: "Makes a man think he should never write a fricken' novel ever again."<br />Emily: "You're a paranoid lunatic."<br />Me: Gawd I feel queasy."<br />Emily: Too much beer."<br />Me: "Nah, too much Lester Dent." <br />Emily: "Nah, too much beer." <br />Joe WestJoseph A.
