I see more tests in my future . . . Great fun.<BR/><BR/>Have you read Dracula? If you at least liked that, you might like Fangland. It's not nearly as long as The Historian. I loved every bit of The Historian, I admit, but I know not everyone did.<BR/><BR/>Alisia - I'm really bad about keeping mine updated too. Sometimes it seems like more work than just jotting down a title elsewhere.
