Hey Louis, Read anything by this guy: http://www.perez-reverte.com/. He is a lot of fun. One of my favorites is Captain Alatriste. Great swashbuckler novel set in 17th century Spain. He wrote the book that the movie the "The 9th Gate" was based on. It's called The Club Dumas. I couldn't put it down. Thought the geek photo was pretty cute.
Take care,
Tim

2006-02-14 : Hi Tim! No, I haven't read anything by him. I'll put him on my list!
-- Louis

2006-09-20 : Hello Louis, good to see you last night. Neal Stephenson (British SF author) has a book I read a while back (don't remember the title though) that has a time-travel theme. A major part of the story involves three men from the present who travel back to England in the 1800s and end up in a boat on the river. Of course, these are the three men in the boat from your story. It might be an interesting counterpoint to the original story. -- Robert

2006-09-24 : By "my story" I assume you mean "Three Men in a Boat: To Say Nothing of the Dog" by Jerome K. Jerome? I think the book you attribute to Neal Stephenson is "To Say Nothing of the Dog" by Connie Willis. But yes, I'm interested in reading both. :)
