How were these? I read a ton of L'Amour when I was 15 or so, and keep thinking I might want to go back and try a few again.

They were pretty good, I'd like to read some more L'Amour. I'd really like to read the entire Sackett's series when I have time.

By the way, sorry about the triple post. I kept getting an error when I tried to post and assumed it wasn't going through. Our servers were powered down last night and were brought back up just before I tried posting, so I wasn't sure what was going on.

Actually, I just got it again when I posted that. It said:

Failed sending email :: PHP ::

DEBUG MODE

Line : 234
File : emailer.php

Any clue what it means?

Edit: Never mind, I just saw the thread about this problem.

You might want to try just editing your original post like everyone else does. This nonsense of re-posting every time you've finished a book is growing increasingly obnoxious. Enough +1 posts and more common sense, please.
