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?

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."

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.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.
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.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Has anyone here read, "The Meaning of Everything: The Story of the Oxford English Dictionary," by Simon Winchester? (I imagine erinaceous has.)
My grandfather insists I read it immediately.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Oh, I want Deena's Christmas books! I got no books, but I do have a couple of gift coupons. I'm thinking the LotR Weapons and Warfare, and a long afternoon's perusal to help decide how to use up the rest of the coupon.
Deb, that was an awesome and well-deserved review!

I haven't read it but I really want to. My mother got it for Christmas so hopefully she'll mail it to me after she and my sister read it.

That was a wonderful and well-deserved review.
My christmas books were Buffista gifties, Bev, so you can see why they'd be such the perfect choices.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Just got it for Christmas - I loved his first one, and I'm expecting to love this one.
