Bad… bad… Lexophiles — 13 Comments

  1. Yesterday, I drove through Grey Man country, crossing Pecos County on the way to a behind-the-lines visit to the grandkids in California. A couple sheriff’s deputies were working an accident on I-10 and my thoughts drifted naturally to “where’s the next book?” It says a lot that these characters are so loved and embedded in a sense of place that crossing the Pecos makes the usual desire to hear more about them even stronger. They’re family and we never tire of hearing more about them Even though it may be an author’s view that he’s created a monster of demand, he only has himself to blame. Maybe if I start over and read them from the beginning, there’ll be a new one by the time I’m done.

  2. Did you hear about the stewardess who backed into an airplane propeller? Disaster.

    You can lead a horticulture, but you can’t make her…

  3. Bad dog, Antique. Bad, bad, dog. No biscuit.

    The trouble is, once I begin reading them, I can’t stop. I may never be the same.

  4. I read most out loud and my wife laughed, so thank you.
    Happy wife, happy life.

    I swear I thought a lexophile was someone who loved law.
