Late birthday gifts

my brother finally gave me my birthday present..
we were discussing This Is Spinal Tap: The Official Companion..
one of his friends gave it to him as a birthday present..
then he said: "speaking of birthday gifts, here's yours.."
it was a copy of THR3E by Ted Dekker..
he said it got good reviews on Amazon, and he hopes I like it..
actually, I do too.. nothing worse than reading a boring book!
(well, okay.. I can think of worse scenarios; work with me here!)
so now I'm happy I got a gift, even though it was late :P
