We are on the same page. I really enjoyed Borne and haven't finished Dead Astronauts. It's on my short list because I got so far that I need to know the ending. Haven't gotten to it for like a year though.

I loved the books too. I got my buddy to read A Strange Bird and he hated the prose. I really like his writing personally.

I've done it many times. You're in a dark room where everyone is focused on what's happening in the front of the room. Guarantee no one even notices you.
