• The Adventure of the Abbey Grange finished
• Retief! finished

  The greatest diplomat in the galaxies. Many great Retief stories here. Laumer is always lighthearted and fun, one can imagine the crap he dealt with as a diplomat. I bet he exorcised a lot of demons by writing about inter-galactic diplomacy. I posted this on 11 March 2013

Question of the Week - Grammar Pet Peeves

Why don't people "make" decisions these days? When they take a decision, where do they take it? Pretty soon they'll be bringing decisions - I also agree with Dustin, that one drives me crazy but has become very common.
