I love your lists because you are so much more discriminating than I am!

Also if I want to hear about any of them I will ask you on SATURDAY when I actually get to see you and J for the first time in several ages.

PS I already started A Tale for the Time Being by accident like 2 weeks ago, and I liked what I read so far that I a) saved the rest for a day when I could just sit around and read it, b) wrote my friend who is traveling in Southeast Asia and told her to try and find a copy.
