"There is something about words. In expert hands, manipulated deftly, they take you prisoner. Wind themselves around your limbs like spider silk, and when you are so enthralled you cannot move, they pierce your skin, enter your blood, numb your thoughts. Inside you they work their magic." -- from Diane Setterfield's "The Thirteenth Tale"
A most happy 2010 to each of you. The assignment for January is to find a book, any book, that you've been meaning to get to forever and just haven't yet. You know, the one on your shelf that just sits there waiting...waiting...waiting! Put it out of its misery by READING it.

funny...I actually did that in January. Have you ever read David Brin's "Kiln People?" I LOVED it. Such a fresh idea. And I suppose it's sci-fi, but it's also a really well spun mystery.
