Maby it would be nice if you told us a bit about it or something, so we don't have to randomly guess <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Well, to be fair he did say it was a book <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo--> Stuff like genre and a brief synopsis would be nice, however.
Now that you're done with that. I suggest "Hop on Pop". It's a really good suspense-thriller.
But on a serious note, I'll have to consider that when I'm done with God Emperor of Dune.

How to Do Cat's Cradle
In cat's cradle, two people make shapes with string and pass them back and forth. Lots of people know
the FIRST one (the Cat's Cradle) -- but there are lots more: the Manger, Candles, the Cat's Eye, and
Diamonds....it goes on and on. To do it, you need:
• two people
• a piece of string tied at the ends to make a circle
In the directions, “you” is the first person and “she” is the second person. You and she take turns:
when it's HER turn, the directions will switch sides.
1. You put your hands through the string. Keep your thumb out of it

2. Then you loop the string around each hand. Keep your thumb out of the loop.

3. Put the middle finger of one hand through the loop on the other hand and pull.

4. Put the middle finger of the OTHER hand through the loop. This is "the Cat's Cradle."

Now comes the first hard thing. Find the two places where the string makes an X.
.............so on, and so on.
Scrath that, I can't really give away anything without spoiling it, you just have to read it.
This reminds me of a simpsons episode that I'm going to quote (loosely) because I have too much free time on my hands and that stuff is hard to wash off.
Marge walks up to a booth full of books, Dr. Nick is behind the counter.
Dr. Nick: "On my diet, you can eat anything you want, all the time!"
Marge: "And you can lose weight doing that?"
Dr. Nick: "Sure, it's a free country."
You'd better move onto "Heretics of Dune" or I'll eat your eyeballs.

Glad you enjoyed it though.
i love that guy. All of his books were ruined by the movies though, except for jurassic park <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo--> Prey was good but it didn't have the same catch to it as his other books like timeline and congo had.
No.. I won't say who, if you don't know by now (smack).
