From: romkey@mit-borax (John L. Romkey) Two new paperbacks I picked up last night at Wordsworth's in Harvard Square: R.A. MacAvoy's "The Book of Kells" and Katherine Kurtz's "The Bishop's Heir". I think they were both just released. Now to get myself into that Deryni frame of mind... - john romkey romkey@mit-borax

From: romkey@BORAX.MIT.EDU (John Romkey) I just picked up Heinlein's latest, "The Cat Who Walks Through Walls" (inside, subtitled "A Comedy of Manners") in hardcover from a local random bookstore, so it is now out. I also saw "Job" and "So Long and Thanks for All the Fish" in paperback. So far (75 pages into it), The Cat seems like good old Heinlein. One of the two main characters so far keeps saying "Want to go back to bed?" The other is a former military type with a disability who has taken up writing as a profession. Sound familiar? - john romkey romkey@borax.mit.edu

Sound familiar? > - john romkey > romkey@borax.mit.edu *** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR NOVEL *** Heinlein was one of my first reads, and as such brings back fond memories, however, it seems that after a point Heinlein runs philosophic, and loses sight of the plot line( I.E. _Number_of_the_Beast_, what ever happened to the meanies?). Heinlein has a limited stock of characters, good guys, (Himself young, himself as he now imagines himself (Jubal Harshaw, etc..), bad guys, and assorted strong, capable, intelligent (, and willing) females. The philosophy is there for the reading. Ah.... the good old days.
