Welcome to the list, Mark. :-)
Les proz e les vassals
Souvent entre piez de chevals
Kar ja li coard n’I chasront

'The Brave and the valiant
Are always to be found between the hooves of horses
For never will cowards fall down there.'

Can anyone direct me to the thread to list our top favourite all time novels? There must be one! Oh, and would anyone recommend Stephen Lawhead's Byzantium? I've read some great things about this novel, but can a non-religious person enjoy it?

Welcome Mark. LA to Toronto? You must have experienced something like weather shock. I live in the San Fernando Valley, 25 miles northwest of LA. I would have loved to have been where you are for the last two months. For the next eight? Maybe not...

A few years ago I read Gary Jennings' Aztec novels. A great example of an exotic place and time with a well-told story.

Hi Richard...I'm from Toronto. Moved to L.A. with my family at age 12, then moved back to Toronto when I lost my job there in 1995. I lived in the SF Valley, North Hollywood, then Reseda. Know the valley very well. Worked in Pasadena. Yes, Aztec is one of my all time favourite books. Read it way back in 1980.
