Ah, yes, volume 12 (or is it 13) in the series. As I understand it, Lahaye provides the theology and Jenkins the command of the English language. One of these days, I must try a volume to see what all the fuss is about.

Reading LOTR's at the moment (nearly done), too much bloody singing.

Preferred the film's (Awaits backlash).

[Theodoric]

Having greatly enjoyed Perdido Street Station by China MiÃÃâ€*’©ville, I am currently nearly at the end of The Scar. Unfortunately, like many sequels, it doesn't quite live up to the original. After this, for light relief, I've got a history of the Hundred Years War by someone whose name eludes me at the moment.

Just the three books? OR have you read the Hobbit too? - The Silmarillion?

I preferred the books - but each to their own
