I got stuck with some books to review for other sites that really muddied my palate. I aim to read more books for pleasure this year.Kelly Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01752857506190488860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5448581132479481740.post-38873173876120341202014-12-22T09:40:06.741-05:002014-12-22T09:40:06.741-05:00Thanks for the comments all – and merry Christmas ...Thanks for the comments all – and merry Christmas to the lot of you!Nick Jones (Louis XIV, the Sun King)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17716508525331235684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5448581132479481740.post-34436492016851497862014-12-21T00:52:29.475-05:002014-12-21T00:52:29.475-05:00Lovely list, and a lot of them I want to read.

Glad you're back. One consolation about the commute is, as you noticed, it's a good time to get work done. Fewer distractions. I got myself a laptop and I've been able to do a lot of writing. Maybe you could compose your posts on the train!Jorge Busotnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5448581132479481740.post-23824378681339347582014-12-20T06:40:32.353-05:002014-12-20T06:40:32.353-05:00Show off!

Last year I read The Unwritten: Tommy Taylor and the Ship That Sank Twice and Nemo Heart of Ice.

I can barely endure the 45 minute jaunt I do every day. And that's supposed to be an express bus! A blessing you still have your job. Too many people over here lose theirs in the often chaotic aftermath of corporate mergers and buy outs.J F Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06473487417479127354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5448581132479481740.post-38122707034864195032014-12-19T09:54:39.006-05:002014-12-19T09:54:39.006-05:00True.
