I Had No Idea

A long, long, time ago: I borrowed a book from Gerb.  <-- He is missed every day.

I don't remember what about it made me ask to borrow it, but I did.

I remember enjoying it then returning it and, basically, forgetting all about it.

Only to be reminded of it in the comments at a political blog.

The book was "Tuf Voyaging" by George RR Martin.

Yes, THAT George RR Martin.

I can now say that I've read a GRRM book and enjoyed it.

This had been true for... uh... decades.  I think I borrowed it before I went into the Army.  I just didn't realize it because I never made note of whom wrote the book and I'd even forgot the title.

  1. That's a coincidence, the only two GRRM books I've ever read were,Tuf Voyaging and The Armageddon Rag. The latter showed he had some taste in cars since both the protagonist and the author drove a Mazda RX-7.

  2. I miss the guy every damn day. We loaned books to each other all the time.
