I realize McDonald in B&N is a joke but reading Sean's "McBooks" comment got me thinking about all of the authors whose names start with "Mc" like McCaffrey, McDowell, and yes even McDonald.

Thanks Sean.

But, McDonalds in book stores would never happen. Face it people. If you buy books you have better taste. Besides, I haven't seen a bookstore without a coffee shop (except in a indoor mall) in years. I thought there might be a law against having a bookstore without a coffee shop now. Beware the powerful Coffee Lobby in Washington!

It would have been extreemly funny if Bill Ackman simply protested this ficticious legal requirement and seen where it would go. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/11124-barry-s-challenge Barry made a comment in the The Book Challenge group:

In the familiar setting of Pern, set in a different time, McCaffrey adds more depth to the Dragonrider Series. This time it is written in the first person adding to the personal impact of the main character and the events of her life. Well written, deeply personal (even if fictional), and engrossing, it is a must read for any fan of the series and a good read for anyone else (especially young teen females due to the romantic parts). ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/24961826 to: At All Costs (Honor Harrington, #11) by David Weber
