Thanks to whoever did this to me!

All right, it's bad enough living with an obsession one can't admit to
in public without alot of groans and weird looks (highlander and the
gerogeous immortal hero), and that this show and ng take up so much
time (in the most pleasurable way), but SOMEONE had to mention a novel
named "Outlander" in a post, along with alot of rave reviews from
other ath-ers, and now I am deep into this book, at a time when I have
so little free time...<sigh>
Admitting a complete lack of self control on my part, how am I going
to get through the very last 6 weeks of this master's program I'm
finishing if I am stuck reading a novel that I can't put down?
Sorry for the rant. Just had to get it off my chest.
But it certainly is a fun book!

Dear Nix,

Whew! I needed that. I started this book last night, late, and as of
today I am on page 477. I had to force myself to put it down, because
I have these papers to finish and a Tuesday final to study for!
(Taking a HL break right now!).
All that being said, thanks!

Yes, this approach is how I normally try to get through these times.
Somehow, I lost control this weekend, I think I managed to rally

Just a warnig, do not buy this book until your exam is passed!

I'll have to add this to the growing number of books I want to read. The past
several weks I've made several trips to the bookstore. Not to mention the fact
that I must have four full bookshelves that I haven't read yet! What can I
say, I'm a book junky!

I'm currently reading the fourth book in the series, DRUMS OF AUTUMN (all four
are tomes)and getting angry at Roger. I still think Gabaldon's best is
DRAGONFLY IN AMBER, the novel about trying to prevent the Battle of Culloden,
but the series isn't complete. I visited Gabaldon's website and read about
future volumes.

I have just finished reading "Outlander" and "Dragonfly in Amber," and am now
almost halfway through "Voyager."
I can't remember when I've enjoyed reading a series like this. I think it's
probably the only thing that could have gotten me to spend less time on the
computer, and more time reading. I am enjoying the hell out of these books.

Ahh, yes. Just finished the fourth. Ohhh, Jamie Fraser <SIGH>. And Roger
<wowee> (who, apart from having the wrong coloured eyes, was played
throughout by Adrian Paul, in my head). Yes, some bits were very
disturbing, blood-thirsty (but so were the times), there was a villain one
could have cheerfully taken apart with one's bare hands (he's up there with
Mr Morden and Bester [spit] in my hate list) and a couple of strong
heroines. What a read.... Diane helpfully gives an e-mail contact in her
last book, so I wrote and expressed my admiration. I'll let you know
anything that can be shared.

Oki I wrote to Diana awhile ago and asked IF she would consider tying in DM
and the outlander series and this was the answer I got
****************************************************************************
***
(snip)
No, I'm afraid I wouldn't think of doing a tie-in book with Jamie Fraser
and Duncan McLeod. Aside from the fact that I don't have any particular
interest in such a project (I have way more ideas than I can write, as it is
<g>), there's a small matter of copyright involved.
I.e., you (one) can't just take an interesting character from someone
else's creation and write stories involving them. People may not write
stories involving Jamie Fraser and Claire Randall without my permission, and
by the same token, all the books done re "Highlander" are done strictly by
permission of whatever corporate entity owns the concept and character of
Duncan McLeod--in fact, they are commissioned by that entity, just as the
Star Trek and Star Wars books are commissioned by Paramount or whoever.
I'm happy to hear that people on your newsgroup are interested in my
books, though, and I hope they'll enjoy the rest of the series (there will
be
two more novels, plus a prequel book involving Jamie Fraser's parents), and
THE OUTLANDISH COMPANION, a small accompaniment that gives family trees,
maps, bibliographies, stories about where the characters came from, Gaelic
pronunciation guides, research methods, etc. The COMPANION will be out in
April of '99--or so the publisher tells me.
Best wishes,

RE: D. Gabaldon's "Outlander" series
______________
I actually read the last book first by accident. I saw a book review
for "Drums of Autumn" when it came out last fall and picked it up.
Then I realized that it was the last of a four book series and had to go
out immediately and hunt down the other three (and Dragonfly in Amber
was rather hard to find, I had to wander thru three bookstores) and then
read them in about two weeks.
Imagine what it was like reading the first three, all the while knowing
the ending of the whole thing! That'll teach me to read the fly leaf
from now on before I jump into a new book.
Although I am glad that I didn't read them in order as they came out.
It was hard enough waiting thru the summer for the ending of the AAA
arc, I don't know what I would have done having to wait for Ms.
Gabaldon to write another book and get it published <g>.

Actually, I read all four of them last summer while trying to finish my
dissertation and conducting some last experiments. I had owned
"Outlander" for about a year at that time (how can I resist a book for
$3.99 which looks like it could be a decent read), but last summer I had
nothing else to read and with my than new addiction to Highlander it
looked rather promising (which it definetely was). I also remember
reading at in bed at 3:00 in the morning (I don't remember which volume,
but I did that at least twice), knowing that I really should go to sleep
now, but also that I want to know how this book is going to end and
knowing that reading the end would not work because than I would have no
idea how the charecters got there. And by the way, one can also get
weird looks discussing the books (by discussing whose scull it was that
was found in the cave in the Carribian).
Have fun reading them!

I admit this is even more off topic but I can never resist recommending
books. Try the Farseer Trilogy (Assasin's Apprentice, Royal Assasin, and
Assasin's Quest) I forget who wrote them. They arefantasy novels (although I
wouldn't call them high fantasy). Sort of an epic in the same way as the
Lord of the Rings trilogy (with which they have nothing else in common, no
elves, orcs or anything like that)
I bought them to bring out to Germany with me when I came back from Easter
break, along with a couple of detective stories, all three are over 500
pages so I thought they'd last me ages, one week later as I finished the
final one having stayed up late each night and done very little work, I
realised I was sooo wrong :)

Nice thing about a ng, you realize that you are not alone!
Well, tonight is the exam, and when I'm done, I'm going to finish this
first book in the next 2 days before I have to start on the next
assignment.
It's great knowing that there are so many left to look forward to.
Speaking of which, tonight I get to watch the episode of HL that I
taped last night. It's the only one I haven't seen (where he tells
Anne about his immortality). It's my reward for finishing my papers
and getting thru the exam tonight.

Mr Mom, don't forget to turn your head just before he/she (if you're lucky)
asks you to cough. I'd have thought certain internal procedures might give
a gentleman qualms, too. Well, certain gentlemen, anyway.

I don't know where llamas come in to hospitals, but you are NOT bringing it
in while I work. We don't want any witnesses, now, do we and the llama
might talk. (Or at least bleat).

In Peru, these animals are held in extreme reverence. (Not exactly a
sacred cow, more a warm, cuddly friend.) I sometimes call my wife "My
little Llama", since she so warm and cuddly. But also like a llama, if
you get her mad she might "spit" at you or bite....

Yeah, I understand that llamas have a hard time pronouncing the <el> sound,
which is why they're so particular about the jahmah thang.

You are correct. It's actually a problem with their tongue not being
able to reach the roof of their mouth. Feeding them peanut butter is
even more fun than doing the same to a dog or cat.

No tongue ever got depressed by imagination....ohh. Oh, I see. You're
pushing your luck, dear. Mind you there was a Chinese Empress (way to go,
girl) who commanded that all her male visitors greet her in a rather
intimate manner until she was thoroughly satisfied......

Ahh, well I said (or at least implied) wayyy back, this banter between thee
and me was all harmless fun and I don't want to push the boundaries too
far, not with me having a hubby around the place.

I've met llamas in Britain, and alpacas (cute and fuzzy...awwwww). And a
Buddhist lama, but that's another kettle of fish.
You never commented on what I told you about me and Xena. Strange
that......

>Mr. Mom <Had rather miss the point than miss a post.>
Well, dear. You asserted that you resemble Ares (ooooh...) and I wondered
out loud what you thought of the Warrior Princess. There was a Reason for
this. You see (sit down a mo') I have been told on more than one occassion
that I bear more than a passing resemblance to the lady in question. So we
can play 'Me Ares, you Xena' at the VR summer camp if you like....
Philippa ummm note Aries (god of war) is Xena's DAD or did you miss that eps

Oooo, I'd like that!
But not being a fan (yet), I read in a post here that Ares is supposed
to be Xena's Dad........uhhhhh, comments?

It didn't stop him apparently trying to seduce her once or twice before she
confronted him with the evidence. Plus, this is VR, so we can ignore that
bit! (I sure will!).
