Thanks, Jim.

Nice to see Stephen King mention Don Robertson again as his favorite novelist in today's NYT Book Review. I'm a huge fan as well. Some pics of my collection from a few pages back quoted below.

Nice collection, Jim. I agree with you on the Travis McGee books--brilliant. I grow into a bigger and bigger fan with every one I read.

Thanks, Bob. That's curious that you have a similar book plate signed by King. I wonder if they could be related some how. I know King and Robertson did at least one book signing together when TIGM...

Robertson's early books were about the Civll War. He also wrote a trilogy about a boy named Morris Bird III. The first book (The Greatest Thing Since Sliced Bread) deals with the explosion of the...

Here ya go....

Wrong link, Merlin. This is the correct Wikipedia entry (which I wrote)....

Don Robertson is the only other author I collect with the same fervor as Stephen King. I thought I had a fairly complete collection until recently.

That's a nice looking book. How's the story? I was a big fan of The Terror, less so of Drood.

Great collection, ur2ndbiggestfan. I'm a big fan of his writing.

I've been looking for a reasonably priced copy of Harlan Ellison's The Essential Ellison recently. I really wanted a copy of the 50 year retrospective, but a signed copy of the 35 year showed up on...

Interesting news about limiteds of McCammon's older novels. The old Swan Song limited is a book that's been on my wish list for a long time. I just hope he stays focused on the Matthew Corbett...

Amazing Matheson collection. Thanks for sharing it.

I've been in a book club with some friends for 10+ years now, and The Corrections is still the most hated book we've ever read. I'm intrigued by the idea of Freedom since it's set in St. Paul but in...

I won the Summer Sketches. Went looking for it based on your earlier recommendation. I can't believe the price either. Got lucky.

Thanks to Bob and Ari for the Dan Simmons recommendations a few pages back. I just finished The Terror and loved it. Moving straight on to Drood.

I think The Road is definitely the wrong place to start w/ McCarthy. I loved Blood Meridian and All the Pretty Horses, but my favorite is probably Suttree.

I read all of Sidney Sheldon's books when I was a teenager and thought they were great. They're actually really, really terrible. I remember reading an article about him that said he didn't actually...

I love Marilynne Robinson. I still need to read her latest book. What did you get?

Nice proof, Dolan. I'm reading "All the Pretty Horses" right now and loving it.

Yeah, having zero interest in running has kept me from rushing out to pick up that one. Now if he'd written a book called WHAT I TALK ABOUT WHEN I TALK ABOUT CYCLING that would be a different story :)
