Never, ever, say “This will be a quick, two day trip.”  You’ll end up broken down in Gainesville, Texas for a week.
No offense to people in Texas, but people in Texas aren’t all that friendly.

Posted on April 27, 2007 by Mike F.

The Friday Five will be a weekly series, I hope, of lists that somehow pertain to me which you will probably not find entertaining (hey, I’m just warning you in advance). This week’s list is the five books (fiction) that have changed my life. They are presented in no particular order.
