No. I think when Gordo first ran in to Simon he truly wanted to put the past behind them and just reconnect as friends. I don't think he even wanted a confession at first. I DO think that he was slightly infatuated with Robyn....

I read them a million years ago. I can't remember much except that I liked them. They weren't "epic" but they were a fun read. I put them in the same category as the Chronicles of Amber by Roger Zelazny. ...

I doubt it.
If I was his publisher I'd have Brandon Sanderson on retainer and standing by a red phone. As soon as the fat bastard croaks there'd be a pre-filled out check on it's way to Sanderson via armed courier. The courier would have instructions to witness Sanderson cash or deposit the check...

So far I think I've agreed with everything posted here.
I'll add John Carter and Tarzan to the list. I'm a huge E.R.B. fan and with the advances in CGI I thought that surely we'd finally see these two characters and their worlds done right.
Nope.

I have another one, more funny than scary.
The last dive of a weeks worth of diving and drinking heavily. The seas were rough and we were all hung-thefrick-over. The waves weren't a big deal on the ride out, but once we stopped and started gearing up the boat was bobbing in three directions at onc...

Kinda long, but all true I promise.
We were diving off Cozumel and my good friend and his wife were doing there check out dive. The first dive of the trip was the shore dive that takes you out to the sunken plane. All went well and they were both feeling confident.
