    Don’t you dare dig for that “cool” or “intellectual” book in your closet! I know you were thinking about it! Just pick up whatever is closest, then tag three people. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    I’m between regular-read books here at the office, so here’s one that’s been sitting in my brief case a few weeks for me to get back into it: <\/p>\n

    <\/a>
    \n<\/a>\n<\/div>\n

    I nodded. “Sorry, Luther, it’s been a rough few nights.” <\/p>\n

    “I’ll bet.” <\/p>\n

    — <\/em>Guilty Pleasures (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter)<\/em> by Laurell K. Hamilton<\/a> <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    I restarted the series upon getting the most recent volume, and have only made it through #1 as yet. They used to be very good, then Hamilton started suffering from “I’m a successful author, I don’t need an editor to keep my story lines from getting bloated and bleary and goofy” Syndrome (cf. Rowling). Here’s hoping she gets back on track.<\/p>\n

    And, yes, I did (as Avo noted) do this “years ago<\/a>” (or close to it). But, then, I have a different book near me now. <\/p>\n

    And now I’m supposed to tag three people. Hmmmm. Steve<\/a>, DOF<\/a>, and Solonor<\/a>. Because … well, why the heck not?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
