Especially the Half Price Books stores on 82nd/86th. I'm there at least once a month.

I can't wait to read it!<BR/><BR/>Even though I am not a football fan, since I live outside of Indy, I feel compelled to say "GO COLTS". Besides, to say otherwise would probably result in my husband filing for divorce!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19307003.post-1169479304399723152007-01-22T09:21:00.000-06:002007-01-22T09:21:00.000-06:00I suppose if I root for someone I should go by sta...I suppose if I root for someone I should go by state loyalty, rather than physical distance. And I do like Chicago better than Indy, generally.<BR/><BR/>Alianore and Susan - yes, it's truly a work of art, isn't it?

I've been randomly flicking through it, and noticed this fabulous line on page 75: "The Gascon eyes of Piers Gaveston blazed in a drunken wrath" followed some lines later by "Piers grinned sneeringly." Brilliant! :)<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the tip, anyway - I'll always read any novel on Edward II, no matter how terrible! The Alesia de Lacy one is kind of odd, by the way - it doesn't seem to work as fiction at all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19307003.post-1169442061149292012007-01-21T23:01:00.000-06:002007-01-21T23:01:00.000-06:00Ouch.
