(Jeane, I'd say, you have to give it 100 pages and then you'll be hooked).Bookwormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09955326582413075973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12546017.post-9519198127245950342008-04-04T10:34:00.000-04:002008-04-04T10:34:00.000-04:00I love Irving as well, but this comment is the IT ...I love Irving as well, but this comment is the IT professional in me who simply must give unsolicited advice to yet another friend who has experienced such a painful loss.....NEVER EVER EVER keep your important info only in one place. Shoot, never keep your unimportant info only in one place. Spend a few dollars (or your equivalent) and purchase yourself a jump drive (also known as a thumb drive, USB drive, flash drive or memory stick). Unless you're a graphic designer or some such, something like a 2-4 gig drive should last you a long, long time. Amazon has them for 10-20 USD. SanDisk and Sony are two reliable brands we use here at the university. Buy 2 if you can and save things twice-in cases like this it is SO worth the few dollars and few seconds of time...I'm sorry for your crash but it's wonderful to have you back.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12546017.post-16668054239769471882008-04-04T09:45:00.000-04:002008-04-04T09:45:00.000-04:00I raise my hand!

Do you have a suggestion for a better one to start with? I'd really like to give this author another try.Jeanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02270303640902731044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12546017.post-2809682333401492902008-04-04T07:34:00.000-04:002008-04-04T07:34:00.000-04:00Definitely savour those novels.
