A friend asked today on facebook that we add "with an ax" to the title of the last book we were reading. My was Heart of Darkness With an Ax. There were some other humorous entries, and so I thought it worth a share here on the Lounge.- greatestescaper

Your favorite movie quotes
There are so many quotes I find it difficult to choose from. That said, the few that immediately come to mind are from westerns. The first is: "I won't be wronged. I won't be insulted. I won't be laid a-hand on. I don't do these things to other people, and I require the same from them." - John...- greatestescaper

Does Anyone Drink Rye Whiskey?
I do not have the most refined palate, and my first whiskey was bourbon. After a time I finally tried Irish Whiskey and that became my go to drink.

Lately I've had the taste for adventure, and also for some time in the wilderness. It'll be a while yet before I can get out there in the rugged Big Bend country again, as such I've started rereading such classics as Allan Quatermain.- greatestescaper

What was the last TV show you watched?
The wife and I finally succumbed to peer pressure and started watching Parks and Recreation. Television shows or films that emulate reality television are not normally my thing. I reckon it's just a personal preference, but I find them frustrating. That said, after sticking out the first...- greatestescaper

What Are You Reading
I've been hooked once again by Jim Butcher. This time, while waiting for Butcher's next Harry Dresden mystery I've picked up his new series The Aeronauts Windlass! It's proved an excellent read. A wonderfully painted world, full of vivid characters, well written action, and airships!- greatestescaper

Western, anyone?
Jack, those beads look fantastic! As for the dogs, there are two that roam about the place, but with Virgil (my son), and our cat Gandalf, as well as a move, the time was not right for a dog. Though I almost adopted one yesterday at the farmers market. Here in the next few months as things...- greatestescaper
