Well, 'My Dinner with Hanuman' was enough to damn near make me turn vegetarian!

Oh, come on, that scene was awesome. I think it was my favorite of all the books I've read so far. And it was nowhere near as sick as the bar scene in Dark and Hung (yeah, that actually grossed me out).

I've just finished TBG, and (thanks to the generousity of Danlo) it's straight on to The Wild!!!
I never liked the cut of Hanuman's jib right from the start, you know...

Hanuman's definitely a little pickleweasel.

Hanuman's the perfect reason why you're better off having no friends in high school. Yeah, I knew what I was doing all along.

There's more to come!

Almost finished with War in Heaven. I think this will be my favorite book of the series. I'm really loving it.

Just left the 'new' Tamara and having a very interesting conversation with Ede...but so far this book has been full of people whoaren't at all what they seem, so I'm just waiting for another big surprise.

I finished War in Heaven last night, and could barely fall asleep. HOOOO-LEEEEE CRAPPPP! The ending to that book was awesome. It was definitely my favorite of the group.

How's that for a well-written sentence??? Probably doesn't need to go as a spoiler, but what the hey.

Whatever you do, don't go into the War in Heaven thread until you've finished the book.
