You'd think Tess would have come out with the truth earlier. Not like Angel wasn't gonna find out on their wedding night anyway...

Tess, you saucy minx, you deserve everything that's coming to you.

There's something ... something about these books. They are particularly compelling - but why? I'm not sure.

I couldn't dig this more - unless someone chucked me a spade.

I really want to keep reading so it must be doing something right.

This series has ballooned to 10 books but I've been promising a friend I'd catch up ... annoyingly it's been too long since I read the first ones and the expanding mythology left me confused, so I've got to start all over again.

Dem makes me wanna play the videogame. Not got 100 hours to spare.

More different from the short story collection than you'd expect. But no less entertaining. An easy, enjoyable page-turning read so far

"I would prefer a game where the last boss fight starts after the opening scene. I've always wondered why the boss waits at the end of the dungeon instead of showing up at the very beginning. That's what I would do if I were the Devil. The hero wouldn't have to waste a bunch of time wandering around a dungeon this way, and the story would end quickly."

- Love Haruhi.

Everyone else in the entire universe likes this so chances are I'll be hyper-critical. look forward to it.

This is absolutely wonderful. Why must it be so short?

This is a blast.

Tell me about those miniskirts again.

If only I remotely understood baseball.

Not what you'd call inspirational.

I love how books about anti-racial hatred do such a wonderful job of pigeon-holing/stereotyping the German people.

Oh, ok this is early-history/journalism. Minor-niggles, very readable account of Hitler's early-life/self-aggrandisement.

Reading about Hitler's early life, What's striking so far is that he was a very ordinary routine kind of guy, it just turned out that he had some good insights into how to understand and manipulate people. Given the turbulent economic and political circumstances was his rise, or the rise of someone like him almost inevitable or did he have a gift when it came to harnessing people's hatred and fears?

Not being too hasty with this book. Harumph. Taking a slight break whilst my reading buddy does.

Hey dol! merry dol! ring a dong dillo!
Ring a dong! hop along! fal lal the willow!
Tom Bom, jolly Tom, Tom Bombadillo!

That is all.
