Its been about three weeks since my return to WoW and the game is still as fun and addictive as it always has been. Currently I am trying to balance time between three characters; Ayria my 70 hunter, Quinora my priest who just hit 62, and my new level 19 mage. With each one I […]

My latest reading expedition was through the Darksword trilogy, circa 1988, written by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman. I do not recall why I originally picked these three books up, but when I saw them, still unread, in a box I figured I should take a peek. Sadly I found the first few chapters of […]

Three more books added to my 2008 completion list; Second foundation, Foundations Edge, and The Two Swords. Second Foundation wraps up the original Foundation trilogy of short story collections and, as with the other two, it impressed me. Engaging plot lines with a bit of mystery and twist that activated my imagination. Foundation’s Edge is […]
