Good Morning to ALL!!! Hope today brings smiles, and some happiness to everyone. I have a feeling that someone, (one of us) will have an unusual experience today. I woke with this feeling. Not sure of whom it will be, but it will be something totally different from their usual daily activities, unexpected, and truly remarkable. Maybe a lottery winner? Maybe they will meet someone here, who lives down the block from them? I don't feel it will be bad though. I Dunno......
(don't ask why I feel this, I just do.)

Hmmm... If I had just busted you out of the slammer... Yes I think I would be owed a beer by that point, however, having just fled the law, one is not expected to have a wallet upon ones person. I am sure I could shout you a round until you accessed some sort of funds!

Maybe you can refresh my memory since Google isn't helping. Back in the 80's I was reading a series I believe by Terry Prichart?. It was humorous and had a lot of wordplay in it. It also crossed the line between the RL and fantasy. Pre Harry Potter so to speak. (I haven't read that series though, just seen the first flick)
I'm also a fan of Harry Harrison (The Stainless Steel Rat) and Douglas Adams (RIP). I also enjoyed the Vince Flynn novels (again, RIP), hell, I could go on. I do love my history books, but try to alternate them with fiction. About the only thing you woun't catch me reading is a romance novel. Too many hugs in those.

Terry Pratchett
Creator of the Discworld, upon which many of his works play out, with various characters, some of which (most) have several book long story cycles. Arguably the most famous of these characters in book circles at least, is the feckless, and utterly inept wizard, Rincewind, if I recall correctly.
