Re: Those Troy books were fun. Jessie Send a noteboard - 02/09/2009 04:52:15 PM
Who wrote the "Troy books" and what are the titles?? Dying to read that! Screw Roman historical fiction (which I LOVE) lets read about Achilles and Hector!!! (and NOT Dan Simmon's SF take on it, pfah!)



You didn't love Ilium?!?!!? Whaaaa

when you see only the darkness, know the light will soon return

Anything that you want to pimp, Elaine? Nobody pimps better than you do. *NM* Tashmere - 31/08/2009 09:37:30 PM 411 Views
Mr Elaine says he's the pimp, but never mind him and what he thinks. Elaine - 14/09/2009 01:37:22 PM 873 Views
And I will happily write them down and look for them. Thank you Elaine. *NM* Tashmere - 15/09/2009 04:21:04 AM 351 Views
