You ladies crack me up! Am I the only tough guy on this forum? hehe!!

I think my wife and I compete with each other as to who reads the most. We have quite a library going. I know that she has always read.

There was a time when I didn't read much, starting around 9th grade, when I became quite a bit more athletic, playing lots of basketball and baseball. This dearth of reading lasted until my sophomore year in college (all this time was pretty much full of sports...I even played a semester of baseball in college). I picked up The Hunt for Red October over Christmas break and then shortly afterward, my wife (then girlfriend) bought me a few books and I took back off reading, often foregoing studying to finish a book. Now, I take a paperback with me to work everyday. Can you tell what's more important?

See??? Tough guys can read, too!

I agree but I would never have thought my Ronnie would read a HF, it's not his cup of tea you might say. Thats why it was a shock when he wanted to read Chadwick, but I'm happy to say I was wrong.

now my mother in law is reading Greatest Knight and Scarlet Lion, I wonder if I'll get them back long enough to read Scarlet Lion being as how the day it arrived Ronnie took it and indulged himself right away. I must say SL moved him, he actually had a tear running down his cheek as he finished the last page, ranting that "he must have been the greatest man in his time, what we wouldn't do to have men nowadays like him...."

All I can do is smile...

A couple of guys have told me they cried. One said he finished the book at the top of the house, hiding from his family so they wouldn't see him sobbing - I guess it might have been a problem as he has young children and the sight of daddy distressed might have upset his little girls too! It could be a whole new genre - tissue novels for men
