"I'm really disappointed by THE MIDNIGHT LINE by Lee Child. Perhaps the author spoiled me all these years with his Reacher stories, but the books of late do not compare to his earlier works. In fact, this one just dragged on and on. Action in the stor" Read more of this review »

Stephen R. Donaldson
“Are you a storyteller, Thomas Covenant?"

"And you gave it up? Ah, that is as sad a tale in three words as any you might have told me. But a life without a tale is like a sea without salt. How do you live?"

"Another?" Foamfollower returned. "In two words, a story sadder than the first. Say no more -- with one word you will make me weep.”
Stephen R. Donaldson
