There's just nothing much to it, and the explanation offered at the end for the witch's behavior was pretty obvious . No interesting new revelations about the world or the characters. I was definitely disappointed.
Marco: Do we look reasonable to you? Mal: Well. Looks can be deceiving. Jayne: Not as deceiving as a low down dirty... deceiver.

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
I got Simon Winchester's new one, and a gorgeous very valuable history of Florence, among others.

Great review, Deb! Woo hoo!

Oh, speaking of reviews, I also treated myself to Kristin Olhson's "Stalking the Divine" when it first came out, and am planning on giving to my sister for her birthday. I just reviewed it at Amazon, but it likely won't show up for a day or two.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.
Congrats on the lovely review, Deb.
On a smaller scale, I gave Weaver to my mom for Christmas, as she enjoys mysteries. She said she liked it very much. (She finished it already when I called last night).
I also gave the folks Firefly, which puzzled them somewhat. Hee.
It's just that my dad is Mal, in a shorter stockier way (with looser pants) which I'm trying to figure out how to say to them.

Lyra's Oxford by Philip Pullman (a bit of a letdown--it's so short!)
Kate P, so it's another story? I've seen it at the store and picked it up several times with an intent to buy. but I was unclear on whether it was a companion edition or a novella or what. So I haven't.

I've been working on a song about the difference between analogy and metaphor.
Books received this Hannukah: William Dalrymple, White Mughals; Adrian LeBlanc Noble, Random Family; Niall Ferguson, The Rothschilds: Money's Prophets and The World's Banker.
I think this is my most nonfiction-heavy holiday list ever, which is what happens when you use your Amazon Wishlist as a general notepad and your mother ignores your instructions about Things You Want Most. Not that I'm complaining! I've been meaning to read more nonfiction anyway, and I probably never would have gotten round to these otherwise.

So, he's big on kicking guys out through exhaust fans and shooting government operatives in the head?
