Holiday reading

It's that time of year again...

Every year I try to keep the pile down, and every year the stack of holiday reading jes' keeps on growing.



And it doesn't help that buying Kindle books is so damned easy!



So, what's on your reading list this year?

      Supposed to be a hist-hot translation. You concur, sir?

    You must either have extraordinarily long holidays or be a speed reader, Ulysses took me about 3 months, but then again I'm probably a little slow.

      It's a pain in the arse reading quickly, but that one I'm only dipping into a section or two just for fun. Maybe just Molly's soliloquy, and the drama in the brothel ...

      Don't be naïve Craig; he doesn't actually read all these. The photo of the book pile is there to give that extra intellectual pretension.

      Yeah, last week my actual library burned down--which was a real tragedy because both books were lost. And I hadn't even coloured one of them in yet.

    Have an excellent holiday season Peter, and thanks (as always) for another year of fantastic and provocative content.
    Please continue to take no shit from nobody, no-how. :)

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
