      Reading

      Maybe not a wise choice of topics on a computer forum, but I'm willing to stake something on the idea that there is other life out there.
      I have four books that I have read and re-read throughout my life. I have given copies to my daughter. My copies will pass down to my granddaughters. Hers will pass to her granddaughters (when she has them).
      They are:
      The Thorn Birds
      Giants in the Earth
      Gone With the Wind
      Emmeline

      I also like to read anything by Dean Koontz and John Steinbeck.
      Any other readers out there?

      My name is Bond, James Bond - and so the masterspy starts out, in novels where the great Ian Fleming left off.

      I'd never heard of the OTHER bond writers, until I got some paperbacks from a book sale.

      Licence Renewed
      For Special Services
      Icebreaker
      Nobody Lives Forever

      I'd say they were ALL better written than the post-Fleming Bond films
