I think I got this book from Teela but I can't remember for sure. And that bit about getting hit with a metal chair totally reminded me of Harry getting nailed with that metal chair in "Leviathan".

And really, knowing how to prepare oneself for the inevitable bar fight is one of those things every girl should know. It's right up there with armpit farts.

And is the book your reading good? I read a little about it and it looks interesting.
