  1. This one is fun and maybe the next two in the series, but after that there is a pretty steep decline. Weird thing about P. Anthony is that his series get worse (and more ridiculous) as he goes along. Not sure why this is. Most writers of massive serial works are pretty consistent (the master Edgar Rice Burroughs, Stephen Donaldson, Michael Moorcock, and even Zelazny (consistent within series though I would agree the later books of Amber are a steep drop off from the first series)). Terry Pratchett has seemed to get better as time goes on and his fictional universe expands. But Piers definitely gets worse. The Xanth series is completely unreadable now. The only other equivalent I can think of is Philip Jose Farmer who had a solid 4 books in the Riverworld series and then kind of got bored and squeezed out another two (I think) that were a major stylistic change and certainly a disappointment for me. Thanks fo the input, greatly appreciated. My friend that reccomended the P.Anthony book had pretty much the same take on the quality of the series. He has read them all but felt that after the first 3 or 4 the writing was getting weaker. Funny that you mentioned the Riverworld series of books, the same friend had suggested those to me as well.
  2. Just started this one. A friend suggested I give it a try.

  10. I was expecting to see more traditional methods like you are sugesting and was surprised to see the wood glue method. I initially thought it was a joke, but the people in the videos appear quite comfotable with using the glue.
  11. I was looking on he internet for some options to clean some records I had picked up second hand and came across a few videos of people using wood glue to clean records. Has anyone here heard of or tried this method? My preferred method is my friends VPI machine but he has recently moved an hour away so it is not as practical as it once was.
  12. I hear you about wanting the music not the money back, I would feel the same.
  13. Hey GA Does Amazon or your method of payment offer any buyer protection? I know my wife has had a couple of items go astray on orders she has made through ebay/paypal and has got refunds. It does suck when all you want is the music and it is out in limbo somewhere.
