About my wishlist: if you'd like to send me a book from my wishlist I won't object(!), but that's not the main reason I keep a list. I try to keep it current so I can use it to help me keep track of what I'm interested in and/or looking for. Thanks to cliff1976 for his pioneering work on the original wishlist site, which I still like for its flexibility.
A couple of wonderful book-related videos that I can watch over and over: The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore - wonderful Oscar-winning short film The Joy of Books - magic in a bookstore
*** 2008 = 202 books released! *** 2009 = 756 books released!! *** *** 2010 = 552 books released! *** 2011 = 579 books released! *** See you next December?! Listening to a podcast of "Wait Wait...Don't Tell Me!" (7/15/06) and the woman says the phone company wanted to charge $5 a month for a hyphenated name (that would be the charge for a double listing) so she & her husband just combined their surnames instead. She figures the phone book people just didn't know what a hyphen was! I wrote the following bits down, but I forgot to write down which book they came from...suggestions welcome! (I was reading a bunch of Melanie Rawn at the time but I'm not sure if they're from her books or not.) "Survival is often a mixture of stupidity, hypocrisy, and compromise." "I'll rant and rave about The Law, and you rant and rave about military expediency. People will take sides. Internal strife is not always bad. It works to make people forget what a hopeless position they're in when they're arguing about trifles. So you and I will argue over trifles. Privately, we'll compromise."
Rings, rays, and boxes that I've started: this list may not be entirely up to date, but if you'd like to join one of the ones marked with an asterisk (*), send me a PM.
