Ethel M. Dell is doing it again with an exciting story! Great for long drives.

It's a nice feeling when one of your favorite author's dedicates one of their books to another of your favorite authors. In this case The Dedicated Villian is dedicated to Jeffery Farnol. I have a feeling this will be good!

Gah, what a cover.

Just starting this, even though its been in my currently reading since January. So far so good, The author's style flows well.

The grave digger and resurrection man are too real. You can cremate me!

(I'm reading a different edition, so this is one of the last pages) "My other concern-" Mr. Treslian stoped and searched her face. " Tell me to go boil my head if you like. Ah, I'm sorry" he said as she was silent. "I had better go and preform that unlikely culinary operation."

I can see that I will be continuing to volume two, this isn't a book too be read on its own.

Just starting this giant! So far it's very engrossing. The underbelly of London.

This was a marvelous book!

hmm.. a similar twist as the one in Lorna Doone, my question is, will George run after her or wait?

It's strange to me, that Lorna Doone is his best known work, his others seem pretty top notch to me! I'm really enjoying this one, and the illustrations are a big plus!

Some men there are whom it is a pleasure to observe at their daily work. I have heard my grandfather say, when he was a boy, one man could do more work in a day than is now to be got out of three. And the cause he assigned for this, was the wild cram and pressure of pugnacious education. "the more a jug gurgles, the less it pours," he said.

Fun so far, reminds me of Cyrano de Bergerac.

Justice End At Home was quite good, I love mysteries to have an unexpected answer.

The dust jacket artist does a nice job, except that for all six books it looks like these same two characters and the hero does not look remotely Chinese. He looks more the Scarlet Pimpernel, extremely English. Lol!

Oo this is the most exciting one yet! As to that the hero has a pet bird. :)

Some what good somewhat dull

Things are not what they seem, and a lot is masked by jesting in this book.

Arrrggh!! Chancey is driving me nuts! He's so sorry for himself and despises everyone else, I feel sorry for everyone else in the story who has to put up with him.

Definitely deserves the title of epic! But I have the feeling everyone is going to die...

"There are no buts,' interrupted Awal Shah sharply. 'YOU cannot alter that or be two people in one skin."_"I am already that,' said Ash wryly. 'Which is not a comfortable thing to be." Koda Dad said gently:"That I understand. Do not try to be both at the one time. Who knows? You may discover in yourself a third person who is neither Ashok nor Pelham-Sahib, but someone whole and complete: yourself.

Oo exciting!!

Almost done!

Some are winners and others are duds.

This narrator has a fantastic voice! And it's the perfect pace.

"From the Forward, These facts may be stated in such a manner that they appear humorous or even fanciful, but they are nevertheless facts"- S. A. Barrett, Director, Milwaukee Public Museum As the author himself says on page ix "I have the faculty of making the truth sound like a lie. I have never done this purposefully-it is quite natural."

On top of Mount Baker in a hut they found the Duke's calling card, and after taking a picture they left a record of their expedition and five and a half tablets of solid Meta fuel with a Kodak autographic pencil. They also left a cake of Palmolive soap for the next explorers.

When the aneroid fell, it had fallen face upward in the deep snow narrowly missing a large rock. The only effect of the fall was instead of registering the actual fall from Oliver's pocket, say, three feet, the sensitive instrument registered a fall of six thousand feet. No doubt it felt as if it had fallen six thousand feet and registered its feelings accordingly.

"I collected some of the moths, and have since heard from the British Museum that they are an entirely new species and will be named after me! I'm dying to see my name in Latin."

Finally! The fallen forest!
