Scribner, 2003

Simply Incredible

+ Strong writing
+ A book that requires INTENSITY of THOUGHT (and time)

This is one of my favorite books of all time. I have read a number of the negative reviews, and I can see how someone who doesn't share the religious views of Lewis might be put off.

Robert Asprin's Myth Adventures Volume 1 (Robert Asprin's Myth Adventures)7 reviews
Robert Asprin, Phil Foglio

Meisha Merlin Publishing, Inc., 2006

Total Enjoyment

+ Classic comedy
+ Great light reading but...

Set back, relax and just have a wonderful time with Skeeve and the group. Asprin paints a picture of social issues with tongue in cheak. Keith Laumer, deceased, did a series on Retrief poking fun at the Beaurocy(sp) that is a hoot and this follows not so much on politics as human nature itself.
