Let Us Solve Your Holiday Shopping Woes...

Why not buy everyone you know a copy of "Spring Comes Suddenly"? Each beautifully designed book is only $5. ~ It's beautiful poetry, disciplined, accessible and concise~ Bradley Miller, National Newspaper Columnist and Shark-Poet.

Speaking of brilliant quotes, someone emailed this to me today (and I won't identify them because I don't want this wonderful person to get in trouble): "She may be a Christian but she's still a great person!"

In book news, I finished "Snow" by Orhan Pamuk which was worthwhile, but too long to be my in-course-leisure book. After I read "The Finishing School" by Muriel Spark, which is small and beautiful and was devoured in just over a day. Now I am reading "Elizabeth Costello" by JM Coetzee, for a course I have next semester. In further news, my career as TA just finished, as I marked my last paper of the term. And Take That have reunited sans Robbie! I have been humming "Back for Good" all day (mostly because it's the only Take That song I know, but it's a good one). Oh yes, we only send out the most important news here at Pickle Me This. Like that Sonia from Eastenders is a lesbian next week!!
