Rejoicing with the Truth

Franks is a government agent, of a sort.

The G-Ride speedometer pegged at a hundred and forty miles an hour but we were going much faster as we entered Montgomery and headed west on the 85.  The black-armored Suburban had been delivered to Franks sometime in the last few days by some of his minions and I was glad of it.  Although MHI had a lot of vehicles, none of them apparently had a... quarter-million-horsepower engine forged in the fires of Mordor like this thing apparently did.  It normally took me forty-five minutes to hit the outskirts of town from Cazador, but Franks had done it in less than twenty, and I wasn't exactly averse to speeding.  The demonic roar of the engine was almost as loud as the banshee siren that warned everyone else to get out of the way or be flattened beneath our armored steel bumpers.  Our tax dollars had equippred Agent Franks with the SUV from Hell.- Monster Hunter Vendetta, by Larry Correia, Ch. 6.

In annoying news, Goodreads has not yet implemented a "reread" option.  I will have to remember, manually add rereads to my total reading count, and manually calculate goal percentages.  Which pretty much negates my major motivation for joining Goodreads in the first place.  To paraphrase Dr. Jones (Sr.), "I wrote it down so I wouldn't have to remember!"

Yes, I haven't done July's roundup. It's pathetic, I'm warning you.

1) What author do you own the most books by?
Haha, LibraryThing to the rescue! Although I don't have everything in there yet. Hmph.
Andre Norton, 49.
Edgar Rice Burroughs, 37.
Erle Stanley Gardner, 30-40.
Margery Allingham, 27.
Leslie Charteris, 20-30.
Agatha Christie ought to be up there, too, since between my mother and I we own all but a couple of her 70+ novels. But I did most of my buying in junior high and early high school, and we never kept track of them.
