BOC-L Digest - 1 Oct 2004 to 2 Oct 2004 (#2004-246)

[Mark Lee]

Now this I like the sound of, I was never a huge fan of a lot of Mikes'
work, I read everything I could get my hands on as a spotty youth
and found that the only stuff I liked much were the Elric books, some
of the short stories were OK but I could never get into a lot of the
other series, Count Brass etc etc, nothing wrong with the works
per se, just not my cuppa, might be time to reread them given the
25 year gap.  Now I have something else to look forward too, wonder
who they'll cast as Zarozania and Moonglum ?
