How was "A Primate's Memoir"? And "Fulgrim"?

A Primate's Memior was great. I recommended it to you, remember? *nudge* *nudge*
I haven't finished Fulgrim yet.

Um...
Where's the Bible on your list?

Kelly: It's not on the list at all.

Oh, The Canon. You'll probably like it - the writing is a bit showoffy, but I like that in nonfiction.

OG, did you like Primate's Memoir?
Wednesday, September 3, 2008 at 8:58:00 PM CDT
Ridger: Hopefully this month, but it'll probably be next.. who am I kidding?
Evo: I liked it even better after I whacked you over the head with it. Did I cause a memory loss?

I'm just asking if you liked Primate's Memoir. You don't have to tell me if you don't want. No need to get angry with me...

Evo: Who says I'm angry? It's just a love tap, really. I'm still wondering about your memory though.

They have a White Dwarf value pack out in Australia that includes two magazines and a 40K novel.
But I will be reading Introducing Evolution and finishing off Last Chance to See.

OG - I accept your apology.
Friday, September 5, 2008 at 3:22:00 PM CDT
Evo: Now I'm really wondering about your memory because I didn't apologize. I suppose I should expect a wandering mind from someone almost as old as Ex.

Now the sounds like fighting words

I've caught her in a mistake, Sean. She's just embarrassed. She usually gets over it in a day or two. Meantime, perhaps she'll give us her opinion on Primate's Memoir.

Re: The Canon - it's pretty good, but Ridger's right about the showy character of the prose. I found that annoying by the time I got to the end of the book. Overall, though, there's lots of good stuff in there.

Evo: I'm really getting worried about you. You keep confusing me with someone else. Are you sure you're not on death's doorstep?
Chappy: I look forward to it but I'll keep in mind what you and Ridger said and try not to let it bother me. :)
