According to the new People Magazine...

Richard Biggs is dead.

I followed Richard from Days of Our Lives to Babylon 5. He's the reason I watched my first B5 episode after I nearly gagged on the pilot episode a year earlier. Richard played Dr. Franklin. He was a wonderfully understated actor and I will miss him. He was only 43. Such a sad loss to the industry.

Good Doomed Books Part 1

Hello Friends...and welcome to Good Doomed Books...the last monument to books weeded from my library. Having run out of room on the shelves I am forced to weed for space those books that have not circulated in the last two or more years. I have decided to remember them here. Those of you who know and love them please feel free to eulogize.

The following books were weeded this week from my library shelves due to lack of patron interest:

Kage Baker's The Company Series - Hard Sci-Fi group of time traveling misfits

George Chesbro's Mongo Mysteries Series - What would happen if the sideshow folks in the X-Files episode Humbug had loads of mysterious adventures.

The Light of Other Days by Arthur C. Clarke

Hammerfall by C.J. Cherryh

Adios Muchachos by Daniel Chavarria (this book was the 2001 Edgar Winner for best mystery)

Cold Sassy Tree by Olive Ann Burns

According to Queeney by Beryl Bainbridge (five time Booker Prize nominee)

Loads of Agatha Christie

Let us pause for a moment and reflect on the mind of the public...hat or hand over our hearts as we say goodbye to these titles.
