it should take about 5 minutes. i am a huge fan, have read most of his books, and own copies of quite a few, so there's no need to quote the whole thing at me, just tell me what book it's in and whereabouts in the plot, along with the first line or so. i am so swamped i really have no time to go through my choices without help, so i appreciate your input.
