I'm happy

I can see that. I like the first books and the later books for different reasons

BUT I also like much darker topics and therefore books than you do

I've read them all at least twice - I think I've read the first one's more often but that's more a function of them having been around

longer

Absinthe - don't ask that question unless you want an answer

I don't question the how many bad things can happen to one person. I guess that's why I like them. It's my life happening to another

the bad luck thing.

I agree Michele! And Absinthe, I said that because I could tell you so many stories... including my own...

yah - I can imagine!
