Now you too can enjoy my Inbox without the annoying spam. Every week I get some amazing e-mail. Some amazing because of the sheer cluelessness of the sender, some because of the time and energy that went into crafting them and some are just simply amazing.

THE OSCARS THAT SHREK WOULD HAVE WON BUT CARTOONS DON'T GET NOMINATED.
STUPID!
OK, this one was a bit too over the top. As I suspected, Mark is not a true BBeliever. He's just having a bit of fun.
The bands hoping to make contact with the Sony Music Exec keep rolling in...

I agree with the wheel of time stuff with RJ. I actually made
it to book 6 in the end before quitting. Reading them is better I
think as you can skip big chunks of boring bits, which is a bit harder
on audiobook.
The end of the book is actually quite good, the last 100 pages or so
STUFF ACUTALLY HAPPENS!one!!!eleven it is his viral way to suck you in
to get the next one. I do wonder how good the "epic" would have been
if it had been properly paced and kept down to 6 books or so.
I had a similar problem with the sword of truth series, where I quit
after book 4. The first book is excellent, the 2nd is good. 3rd
average. 4th poor. at point I gave up as there was a bit of clear
trend, to predict the 5th book :D.
Now I know two series to avoid. Anything else out there I should avoid? Let me know.
Weekly Limerick
The winner of the 2003 and 2006 Geek Limerick contest has volunteered to write a weekly limerick for BBspot...
From: Seth
Chinese train toys are painted with lead,
So conduct business elsewhere instead.
Don't give these to your boy,
He'll chew-chew on this toy,
And be on track for ending up dead.
