Kat,
I am chuckling now because I am not sure your post endorses the book as "good." Or even not good but entertaining (e.g. Da Vinci Code). DVC really isn't good at all, but man I ran through that book like a house on fire.
I think I am less interested in reading it than I was before! Esp when you indicated that the ending might suck. Grr.
I've half-seriously suggested that the city get a Tom Champion-signal that they can project from a searchlight atop City Hall when there's trouble.

Love it! I find that most of the movies/books/etc I dislike fail at #14.
Market and pedicure on the way home. Now errands cause salon can't fit me in until the 28th now! Ahrg. Oh well, I'll live.
Off to see my folks this morning. Maybe I'll get a pedicure on the way home...
Gunfire or Fireworks? has been a common game around here this summer.
That's my neighborhood's motto. (It's usually gunfire. Sad but true.)

I am Steph, but subbing city for neighborhood.
I slept through the Running of the Bulls and Doggies and Donuts, and now it's storming on and off liek woah. I need to get myself going and hit the market (which is inside).
I get a migraine google alert, and the past couple of days it's been all Excedrin, all the time. Apparently it's off the market, and Excedrin Extra Strength is going for $144 and Excedrin Migraine for $245. As opposed to $10.
Man, I wish it worked so well for me I'd be desperate to buy it. I still can't work out when IV compazine is going to come back on the market. It's been
months
since I've had an effective anti-emetic. It's horrible horrible horrible.
weeded about half the yard. dad either came yesterday or before 10am and mowed, so any weeds that had seeded got mulch. gah. Still have about 25 gallons that I puled, so not bad for an hour and 15 min.
Do you have a favourite mug/coffee/tea cup? What makes it your favourite? Is it something sentimental? About its provenance? Design? Or is it something about how it sits in your hand? Size? Shape? Colour?
I've just discovered that the company mugs they gave out a few months ago are really...handy. It's a similar shape to my cafeteria teacup set of four, but a couple of ounces bigger, so more tea. It took over from a Cafepress mug that had previously been my favourite because the stupid text (keep calm and have a profound bond) amused me, and I liked the black inside. I feel a bit guilty for cheating on it with a corporate mug, to be honest...
Do you have a favourite? I prefer four of mine, pretty much. Third up is my b.org mug. If all three of those are dirty, next up is the girls kick ass one from DX, and then they're all equal after that.
