The boy is too shy to mention the titles of those classics, but "SHY" and me have never been traveling companions!<br /><br />The titles to those two books, made superior by my presence, are DEATH IN THE HOUSE OF LIFE and THE STARS BLEED AT MIDNIGHT.<br /><br />You ever feel poorly, why you buy and read them. If they don't make you feel better, the purchases will certainly make the boy and me feel better!! Roland D.
