I just realized I have no idea where the one I’m reading is. I was enjoying it so much! I’m sure I put it somewhere safe. :p

I love Michael Dirda! BOOK BY BOOK was one of my favorite reads of last year. And I have CLASSICS FOR PLEASURE awaiting me. I can’t wait for your review of the one you’re reading.

I hope they listen to you! My library has historically not purchased any books I asked them to purchase, but I got discouraged and stopped asking in high school. Maybe they’d be more inclined to listen to me now that I’m grown up.

I want to read Maps and Legends a lot! I am reading a book about books (one of Michael Dirda’s), and I would like to read some more. But my library can’t find its copy. >:(

I do love a good geeky reference myself. 🙂 Tennant’s my Doctor, but I got fond of Eccleston as well. For me, ultimately, I enjoyed Tennant more because he was having such fun with the part. It’s the same thing I like about Matt Smith.

I will pass your good wishes on to them! They did have a happy anniversary, if a bit boring.

It is not too late to read the books in rotation. Just give it some time until you have forgotten everything about MfA, and then try again. 🙂

Hahaha, I can understand that. Bad Mother will give you an even bigger crush on him, because seeing him through his wife’s eyes is really sweet too.
