Another I will add to my out-of-print--but-must-track-down list (I also prefer not to read on computer screen)...I'm still on the look out for Anderson's Hrolf Kraki or Broken Sword but did manage to find an old copy of his Demon of Scattery recently (apparently a Norse/Irish fantasy...maybe you know it).<br /><br />Enjoyed today's post too.

There's something about reading on the computer that flattens the prose (for me, at least).Eric D.

Even if you can't read it in its entirety, online, you can at least see how it reads.Brian Murphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05563309422791320114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723077228948447528.post-74285980172995285762010-04-09T10:07:00.414-04:002010-04-09T10:07:00.414-04:00I'm a huge fan of King Solomon's Mines and...I'm a huge fan of King Solomon's Mines and She (in fact I was just thinking of writing a scholarly essay on the influence of She on author Henry Miller, if you can believe that!).
