I finished this one over the weekend. I thought it was very entertaining!

My plan for this summer was to read Asimov's Robot novels, then his Empire novels, then his Foundation novels. I've now finished the 4 Robot novels and the collection of robot short stories that precede them in fictional time. But it's already mid-July, the 3 Empire novels are proving somewhat challenging to find, and there are 7 Foundation novels on my list. So I've decided to skip the Empire novels for now.

Thanks, Dwight.
(My decision to skip the Empire novels was based more on availability of time than availability of the books themselves. And I didn't have the self-control to get started on the Foundation novels that are all related, as opposed to the Empire novels that are independent of one another, as I understand it.)

Looks like the Cat's taken up reading and fancies a fish supper

Good Coco pairing, different blades and frames, which do you think works best in the hand?

Regards, Will

If love is going to be dangerous, then I definitely prefer that it also be elusive!
And, for that matter, if a novel is haunting, then I'm moving!
Who writes these dust jackets??

Will,
Thank you. I really loved the 73 fit but the pull was so hard I never used it. The guy I sold it to cleaned it up beautifully and says he might be able to lighten it up some. I got one of the jigged bone 93s now and absolutely love it. I also have an ebony lambsfoot on the way. For a pushing cuts the 73 for sure is better, for pulling the 93. The 93 won't pierce full blade length like the 73 but the tip is actually pokier for a shallow cut. I actually use the Meher &Grosh 15 most.

Almost done! I'll let the epoxy sit over night before I start hacking away at the handle.

So I couldn't stand to let the epoxy sit overnight. It'll be fine.
This is as done as it's going to get, for now, at least.
I didn't make this sheath. I think I bought a really cheap knife that didn't suit the sheath at all, to get the sheath. And it also will do for now.

I like to think it looks marginally better from the other side.

This is a suuuuper late response but I wanted to thank you for a very enjoyable read last summer!

I had read this before. Near the end I remembered one thing, then later another and another earlier thing. No idea where or when.

I just read that again recently! It’s really good. I know that area pretty well.

Based on y'all's posts I was able to get this one from the local library. Thoroughly enjoyed it -- she made me literally laugh out loud.

Maybe it's the diabetes that has me thinking about food so much.
