Ooops ... sorry about that .... should have put in the title, my fault

Oh ... and I always re-read my fav books ... they are like old friends. I always find new ways of reading them ... often, something obvious that I had missed. Asimov's "Foundation" trilogy, Ray Bradbury's short story "The Smile" ... "Catch 22" ... "Goodby to All That" ... "Canticle for Liebowitz" ... "Dune" ... "Tristram Shandy" ... "Egil's Saga" ... maybe I could be reading something new, but I love getting together with old friends, esp. ones that don't raid my fridge and drink all my beer.
