What's up with that!?! I've been trying to win him over, but there hasn't been much progress. For me personally, I have accidentally read some series out of order, but I am much more careful now.Thoughts of Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05572910467988997432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31208059.post-64342179509194719292008-09-03T18:00:00.000-04:002008-09-03T18:00:00.000-04:00This book is on my 1st in a Series Challenge list....This book is on my 1st in a Series Challenge list. I'm thinking I'll make it my Sept. read for this challenge. I found out about Robinson through my husband and I've actually read some other titles from this series. I really hate reading out of order, but picked them up since they were laying around the house (Mr. Distortion doesn't have the same "read them in order" issues that I have!).Terri B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12215878121282668358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31208059.post-35848497976361730002008-09-03T17:57:00.000-04:002008-09-03T17:57:00.000-04:00Nan ~ I am so glad to hear that you are another Ba...<B>Nan</B> ~ I am so glad to hear that you are another Banks follower! :) Where have I been?

I think Robinson does a very good job with the Banks character. I find him believable - he's a good guy but he's got his faults too.Ilianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026669671843769219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31208059.post-11378830956630980662008-09-03T14:24:00.000-04:002008-09-03T14:24:00.000-04:00I've read a few of the later books, and I liked Ba...I've read a few of the later books, and I liked Banks so much that I went back and started with Gallows View.

I liked that. It's not deep either, but it was more than I expected.

He now divides his time between Toronto and Richmond, North Yorkshire.<BR/><BR/>I just read that his 19th book will be out in the US in Feb. 2009, but Oct. 2008 for you Canadians. AHHH, the 17 books will be growing instead of shrinking, if I don't read another by February. :)Thoughts of Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05572910467988997432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31208059.post-25224388438986363662008-09-02T13:11:00.000-04:002008-09-02T13:11:00.000-04:00I've never heard of this series but glad you enjoy...I've never heard of this series but glad you enjoyed it.

Actually, I may be listening to one soon. I haven't decided yet. <BR/><BR/>As for this Alan Banks series by Robinson, I'm definitely interested in pursuing more.Thoughts of Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05572910467988997432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31208059.post-48724861505812204162008-09-02T11:37:00.000-04:002008-09-02T11:37:00.000-04:00Hmm... never read this author before.
