Feels like I should be re-reading a book for this thread

(That's a reference to the funny Bill Murray movie "Ground Hog Day" where he has to live the same day over and over again) I finished Pearls Blows Up by Stephan Pastis, a collection of Pearls Before Swine cartoons. It was dark, fluffy and entertaining as expected. Now I've moved on to Phule's Company by Robert Asprin. It's a new (to me, 20+ years old in actuality) book by one of my all-time favorite comedy fantasy authors (the author of the Myth series). I've only just started it, but I'm almost giddy with the idea that I've got a new series of books by Robert to read. Instead of a fantasy setting, this series is sci-fi. I've no doubt his humor will translate, however. And shockingly, no Martin or Butcher for me this week! :) Notta
Happiness: money matters, but less than we think and not in the way that we think. Family is important and so are friends, while envy is toxic -- and so is excessive thinking. Beaches are optional. Trust is not. Neither is gratitude. - The Geography of Bliss by Eric Weiner as summarized by Lily Fairbairn. And a bit of the Hobbit reading thrown in never hurts. - NottaSackville

Do you hear the author's voice in your head when you read their books?
