< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 223 OF 750 ·  Later Kibitzing> Jun-14-07    JoeWms: In his forward to the Bachman book, I suppose Stephen King was kind to the old man. (Maybe it was an obituary.) Jun-14-07    WannaBe: Holy Macaroni, if you book a room when the Mexico Tournament starts, at the Sheraton, it's about 208 American, if you try to book it at the end of the tournament, it's 150 American... Round trip tix gonna cost 380+... Jun-15-07    WannaBe: Very interesting, mine is "Theme from Shaft" http://www.joshhosler.biz/NumberOne... Jun-15-07    Dr.Lecter: Mines a "Whole New World" from Aladdin. I always loved that song!

Jun-15-07    WannaBe: <Dr.Lecter> No, just I remember when that song came out, shows you that I'm old... <TheAlchemist> I remember when that song came out too!

Jun-16-07    Open Defence: looks like Arnold is lagging? Jun-17-07    hitman84: Dude, I'm "deepzero" on FICS :) Jun-19-07    WannaBe: "Stalin's Ghost" By Martin Cruz Smith, I will give it B+, possibly A-. Great story, what started as an investigation into sightings of Stalin on Moscow's subway station, eventually ends with Det. Renko in Tver solving multiple murders by members of the Black Beret. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OMON Minor characters include a young chess prodigy, an old chess grandmaster, and chess references thrown in for good measure. Oh, yeah, one fictional blitz tournament was written about in the book too... =) This book, is the latest Det. Renko story, previous stories include "Gorky Park", "Polar Star", "Red Square", "Havanna Bay", "Wolves Eat Dogs". Jun-21-07    dabearsrock1010: <WannaBe> where do/did you go to school?

Jun-21-07    WannaBe: Time for another <WannaBe>'s book review. "Without Mercy" By Jack Higgins, Grade: D. Mr. Higgins needs to stop rehash the same ol' formula with Dillon, Ferguson, Blake, and the Salters... Story is getting old, dialogs are getting worse, if not, downright trite... I'm glad this was in the bargin book bin, where I picked it up. Jun-21-07    WannaBe: Next book review, "Einstein" by Walter Isaacson, the book is over 500 pages long, and I'm only on page 20, could take a while... So don't hold your breath waiting for the review. =) Jun-22-07    dabearsrock1010: those are some sweet pictures from the national open...did you play?
