Happy Birthday, P-C!
sj, most of the books I download are between $3 and $7, which is why I find it so hard to resist.
ETA: ah, the anise debate. I luvre it.
You're right. He's evil. But you should see him naked. I mean really!

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
There's a debate about anise's evilness and the way it evils people? Huh.

Can I ask for examples?
ION: licorice, as any anise related products, is the devil's work. But apparently it really helps to get you to get on your feet in tea with cinnamon (though I held my breath in order to drink that poison).
I hate licorice too, and I don't think I could ever drink that.

The debate is love versus hate. I love it, but I know I'm in the minority.
sj, most anything that is in paperback and not newly out.

I thought so too. But I was willing to do a lot of things in order to get up from the couch, and I had nastier remedies in the past - ones where it doesn't help if you hold your breath or not. At least in tea it's 90% smell, so you can control it a little bit.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I love anise when it's used as a spice, but hate licorice. I have layers.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
you can get right downtown to the Central Library
Which is a gorgeous and cool building too.
Licorice - no like. In Wm. Joyce's children's book Santa Calls they chase away the evil snow witch by pelting her with licorice.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I use my library constantly. And my library has obliged me by, once again, building a whole new beautiful library within two years of me moving to town. Back when I was in New Mexico, susanw always used to wonder why all the materials she needed were coming from the Farmington library. It was because that library freaking rocked. And I knew the staff, so I always could get stuff I wanted added to the collection.
This new library is not quite as awesome, but it is beautiful. And it still has the same librarians as when it was a teeny tiny library and they made recommendations for me because they knew what I liked. They don`t really do that anymore as they`re clearly serving a much larger population. But it`s pretty decent just the same. I do also download Project Gutenberg books, but as I don`t have a reader I tend to forget I`ve done so and they languish on my hard drive. The SO`s phone can read docs and text and if mine did, I think I`d use it that way.
