As Dorothy Parker Once Said...

The Raven

I love The Raven by Poe. I try to read it every other year or so around Halloween. Being from Minnesota I find the above cartoon amusing.

12-12-12 Christmas Wishes

I actually read Christmas Wishes by Tim Hollis last year. I identified with it because the author and I basically lived through the same era as kids. Lots of fun memorabilia here. I had a LOT of fun reading this...

Bossypants

Bossypants by Tina Fey was a fun read. Even when she's not being gut-bustingly funny her good natured personality makes her a delight to read. My favorite quote?

"Do your thing and don't care if they like it."

Love it.
