My father's birthday! Good choice.
What? She killed 'em with mathematics. What else could it have been?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You The Lovely Bones people are crazy. I just wish I could remember enough about the damned book to be able to back up my entirely valid and reasoned point.
I did consume it through books on CD, which might alter things. All that persists clearly was my massive annoyance.
I haven't read as much as I should have over the past decade, but I'm pretty sure Nalo Hopkinson ranks up there, and Neil Gaiman.
I skimmed over how few votes many (nay, all) of those books got. I toss out their results! Bah!

OK, if I do not seriously crack down on my work (realistically, let's say tomorrow), I am TOTALLY SCREWED.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
I can't think of any books I regret reading because I'll stop if I'm not enjoying it, the last being The Time Traveler's Wife. I was so bored.

Our wings are not tired.
ita, I really loved the humanity in that book. The amount of forgiveness and acceptance of loving people for who they are overwhelmed me. I remember being so thankful for the inherent and implicit goodness of that book.
I don't know if that would change on cd. I can't deal with audible books because the reader either talks too slowly or too quickly. I am picky! I get annoyed by voices too. About the only one I like is David Sedaris reading from his stuff.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Thanks guys. I think I might go with the DNA charm, but there's also a cute microscope charm. Bleh. I hates shopping.

ita, did you see Scifiwire's list of the 18 Best "bladed" weapons (I would have said "edged") in Science fiction movies and tv?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Some mp3 players let you vary the speed without shifting the pitch.
