This is what I bought, eBay is a great choice for it:

There are other ones but this one is popular with the Miata crowd.
I saved that info to my favorites, Chumly. Thanks.
96. I think Fridays should happen where Wednesdays now occur.
97. I think Dys and Diane are as charming a couple as I have ever spoken to.
98. I think Erskine Caldwell wrote a number of foolish novels, but a few of them are worth remembering.
99. I think T C Boyle's The Tortillia Curtain is an important novel, on the order of The Grapes of Wrath.
100. I think Letty's thread of A2K Radio is a lot of fun.

Tortilla Curtain is very readable, as well as having a wonderful story to tell. Gus clued me in on it a few years ago.
So, are we heading towards #1000 now, or is that the end?
I set out to do 1,000, and 1,000 it will be.
Looking forward to the next 900, edgar.
(The Tortilla Curtain is a great book. Making note to re-read it soon.)

Five per day, as much as possible. 180 days of this to go.

The other Boyle works I have sampled are of a different nature. I like some of them, but not all.
certainly one of the best works of fiction I have read in the past 10 years is "Resveration Blues" by Sherman Alexie.
Quote: In the 111-year life of the Spokane Indian reservation, not one person has arrived by accident-until the day the black stranger appears with nothing more than the suit he wears and the guitar slung over his back. The man happens to be the legendary bluesman Robert Johnson, in flight from the devil and presumed long dead. And when he passes his enchanted instrument to young Thomas-Builds-the-Fire-storyteller, misfit, and musician-a magical odyssey begins. From reservation bars to small-town taverns, from the cement trails of Seattle to the concrete canyons of Manhattan, Thomas and his Coyote Springs bandmates careen through ancestral nightmares and rock-and-roll dreams, sounding chords of celebration and survival as timeless as their tribe.

I plan to seek this one out.

You mean you won't be able to be coaxed to do 1001?
Only by popular acclaim, which seems doubtful.
if it was good enough for the arabian nights, it should be good enough for you :wink:
101. I think monkeys in cages ought to have so many acres of ground per colony, to live like monkeys should.
102. I think elephants should be likewise treated.
103. I think Moloch's grip is on the land; protect your children.
104. I think gelesgesti's thread, Whatever, is worth keeping up with.
105. I think Elvis in the 50s was one hell of a performer.
106. I think Flying Tigers, with John Wayne, which I just saw, is one hell of a flick.
107. I think CDs are the best thing ever; store music, books, etc.
108. I think my poor little cocker spaniel/ beagle mix dog will have to be put to sleep this coming week. She's old and going downhill rapidly.
109. I think Letty is one of the kindest, most feeling persons I know, and I have never even met her.
110. I think the wars we are fighting really are WW III in the early stages, and will be fought globally, unless and until we get a statesman in the White House to head it off.
Sorry about the pup, ed.
Agree about Letty, btw.

The dog made a remarkable recovery. She is normal, again.
