I've enjoyed all his Captain Alatriste novels, though the seventh hasn't been translated into English yet

This strategy can backfire, however. Say you've got a coiled rope of Brown Bogie nearby. Might be best to double check and make sure it's Brown Bogie before packing a bowl. Methinks Mr. Hankey doesn't smoke very flavorful. At least that's what @cosmicfolklore tells me...

That would be another very good recommendation of this great writer. His novels or stories, once you read them, after some time, you come back to read it again. I am glad you enjoy this writer, friend Romaso.
When the Secret Santa thread rolls around I never leave!
He also illustrates why men should have beards...

Honestly, historical fiction is probably my favorite genre! Sidi looks great, but I couldn't find an English translation in my Google search... I guess I could learn Spanish... hah. Thanks for the suggestion, John! One of my favorite books is Hanta Yo. It's a historical fiction about Native Americans and the journey of a Lakota chief's son to become leader of the tribe. I don't think that one is in print anymore; I found my copy at a thrift store. I also like biographies and memoirs a lot.
This forum is a good balance of everything, which is why I keep coming back. I would guess that's why others come back as well.
I don't worry too much about post counts.

Yes, friend Snook, I like biographies and memoirs too. One of the ones that made the biggest impact on me was the true story of Miguel de Cervantes. Here in Spain there is an old TV series, which is beautiful. I don't know if you can watch it with English subtitles. The life of this writer and warrior still fascinates me today.Here on this page, there is a complete archive of old theaters and series. I have seen this series several times, and I never get tired of watching it again. Cervantes: Capítulo 1 | RTVE Play - https://www.rtve.es/play/videos/cervantes/capitulo-1/3502105/
“Butt“, you know it’s true for a great many on here!Ummmm. Methinks you are oversharing again....
Thanks for the suggestion. I remember I was about 12 years old and my father came to find me to put me to bed. He saw I was watching 'Don Quixote' on TV, and that it had just started and would run late into the night. He told me that we should stay up late and watch it, and that I could then stay home from school the next day, because this story was more important. My father was a good man.
I think you would like this one, 'Bless Me, Ultima':

I just look at the topic and if it looks promising I take a look. If a thread has been going for a while, I'll go to the last page to see if has devolved into silliness, an argument over proper chili, or TMI postings.
Perhaps you could be the one to start one in your area! Maybe some local codgers would love an excuse to get out of the house.
I also use the feature when I click on on my avatar at the top right of the page and then go down to my content. I forget where I post a lot and don't care to scour the site for posts I made. It is a great time saver.
