I also bought the majority of his collected works around the same time. <br />I think you should join in on KING SOLOMON’S MINES. A Chapter a day should be pretty easy.<br /><br />Very good, Randy.

Haggard is one of those guys whose name always comes up as an influence on people who have really influenced me. I believe I've read a couple of his shorts, but never any of his novels. Seems this is a good place to start.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10070278104646895235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401124973760279564.post-82782910429788151012011-05-13T22:00:59.955-04:002011-05-13T22:00:59.955-04:00I'm looking forward to reading it, Bill.
