Well, you know what they say about some people and a new rope. :)

As for me, most of the LL books I have now are my second time buy. I have no idea what happened to all of my first copies but, I do remember when I started reading LL. It was my freshman year in college when a roommate showed me one of your dad's books that he was reading. I don't remember what my first read was, but your dad grew on me over time. Until about five years ago, I had just waited and picked up his new novels and collections as they were published. It was when I set out to read all of his books that I found myself buying my second copy of a lot of his books because I found that my first copy had gone somewhere by the way. And now, based on your previous note, I've bought my second copy of "The Walking Drum" out of curiosity about the plans LL had for sequels.
