Great review, Deb! Woo hoo!

We're Literary 2: To Read Makes Our Speaking English Good
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.
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.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo
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.

It's just that my dad is Mal
So, he's big on kicking guys out through exhaust fans and shooting government operatives in the head?

My husband got about 5 books about GWB and his administration (e.g., The Lies of George W. Bush). It seemed to be a big theme for non-fiction this holiday season.

Hee. Well, he has no history of either, that I know of.
More like there have been points in his life that I believe he endured past hope, somehow finding meaning in the small scale rather than the big meaningless picture.
He's a big damn hero, and he doesn't even realize he is.
