Wednesday Paperback Cover


Bonus points to anyone who can tell me what a "rood" is in this context.

  1. In this context, I'm not sure we want to know.

    What I find curious is the fanfare at the top of the cover:

    A New Novel By The Author Of MANDINGO

    And then we get two names.

    If Mandingo was such a hit, why did Kyle Onstott need help from Lance Horner or vice versa?

    Perhaps it was to try and figure out what a "rood" was.

  2. I can't believe there was a "novel" called Mandingo! Good grief, Nathan, what kind of filth are you peddling on this site of yours?

  3. Nate, if the man wrote a book called "Mandingo" then I think we all know what he meant by the word "Rood." But wouldn't tattooing it hurt?
