Just the blurb sounds painful.

I'm reading "If I Pay Thee Not In Gold" right now, it's a fantasy book he co-wrote with Mercedes Lackey, about a woman in an amazonian-type society who comes to respect men. The best I can say about it is that it feels like it could have been _SOOO_ much better.

It actually started out okay (meaning: at least it was readable) but turned into a "road trip" story where the trip is boring. When I'm not reading that, I'm re-reading Jack Chalker's Four Lords of the Diamond series (4 books total). It's probably a telling point that I'm 1/3 of a way through the third 4L book, while only having moved about 20 pages in the amazon book.

That's one of the many joys of a kindle -- you can leave a book and then go back to it seamlessly. No fumbling for the last page read, no dog-earing, etc.
