I was a young lad, probably around 12 or 13 when I had gone to the local bookstore and stood staring at the shelves of fantasy books trying to find something to read. I must have stood there a while because a clerk came up to me concerned because I had spent so long on this one rack. When I explained I was simply looking for something new to read he grinned and pulled a book off the shelf behind me He handed me Jhereg and then bought it for me. Seridusly. A stdre clerk bought me a book solely to share a series he enjoyed. Needless to say I fell in love with it. -- Patrick On Mon, 03 Jan 2005 10:49:12 -0500, Joy Jennifer Nicholson <jjnichol at mit.edu> wrote: > > My college LARP group did a 10 day game set in Dragaera.
