- Dear Joel,
-
- The esteemed writer you are refering to is indeed Mr. Robert Lynn
- Asprin. We have, quite frankly, never noticed the similiarity between
- the name and the medicine before, and while we appreciate your pointing
- it out, the subject has long since lost all possible amusement to be
- gained from it.
- We would, in fact, prefer to talk about the many works of the
- honorable R.L.Asprin, whose witty satire and real-life life-like
- characters make any book an enjoyable experience.
- My personal knowledge of his writing style stems from two
- sources, either one of which I invite you to write ad nauseum about: The
- _Theives'_World_series, and the _Myth_ series.
-
- If you wish for a specific topic about these two to converse
- upon, I would greatly appreciate any information about the latest _Myth_
- book, or whether the Thieves' World series (which he edits, not writes)
- are worth finishing (I believe my last foray into that series was Storm
- Season).
-
- Thanking you
- (even if you are f*ckin' nuts!)
- Dagobert (the Sane)
