Not what you are thinking... Well partially actually... But on a more serious note. Mommy actually introduced me to some authors I would not have read without her recommending them.

Busy with the second book of the Liveship Traders series at the moment. Excellent.

Europe's knife law sucks. Heard of another person being arrested in the UK for having a "dangerous knife" in his car. It was a Swiss army knife. A UK policeman would likely crap in his pants and feint if he searches me.

Read the Spud Trilogy. I was surprised at the humour and talent. Great books.

Saw a pretty cool book at Exclusive Books called The Lucifer Code by Charles Brokaw. Want to read that. Also want to get The Assassin's Prayer by Ariana Franklink. Anyone read those?

A friend gave me "Bear and Dragon" by Tom Clancy. It has been a while since I read anything of his. My goodness that man knows how to get me hooked.

GreyWolf, agreed. There are few suspense authors in the spy business that can keep one glued to every one of this 800 pages :)
"Integrity" and "integer" both contain a Latin root meaning "whole; complete." The root sense, then, is that people may be said to be acting with integrity when their beliefs, words, and actions have a sense of unity or wholeness.

800 pages would be easy, this is a full fledged TOME weighing in at 1152 pages!

One thing that bothers me though, he seems to drop the f-bomb a LOT more in this book than what I remember him doing before.

If you like big books, read Ken Follett's Pillars of the Earth and World Without End. Pillars was about 1,050 pages and World Without End was over 1,200, if I remember correctly. His new one, Fall of Giants, also weighs in at 1,100-odd pages.
