Even though I owned the whole first set, I gaps of about a couple months between books because I would decide that I didn't like it after a book and stop reading. However, I always wnet back. Now that I have finished both sets, I love them. I see what Donaldson was up to. Their great! Keep trying, they are an aquired taste. Randy Buckland Research Triangle Institute ...!mcnc!rti-sel!rcb
