Lawhead's "Byzantium" imlad Send a noteboard - 02/09/2009 01:54:59 AM
I really enjoyed Stephen R. Lawhead's series, the Pendragon Cycle and the Celtic Crusades, as well as two of his stand alone novels, Byzantium and Patrick, son of Ireland.


I read "Byzantium" a year or two ago, the only book of his I've read yet. I liked it, but was slightly disappointed with it, since I picked it up expecting it to be more about that intriguing city (yes, pun intended), not expecting all the side journey's the monk made. Still, it was a fun read.
Death to the Regressives of the GOP and the TeaParty. No mercy for Conservatives. Burn them all at the stake for the hateful satanists they are.

just add HF as a "topic" for new posts, but keep it on this MB. Easy enough right? *NM* imlad - 01/09/2009 06:30:25 PM 422 Views
