@Fbone if you ever get a chance to listen to Phil read "Agatha H," *take it.* Not only does he look exactly like he draws (even from the back!), he *sounds* exactly like he draws. Kinda scary.
I am stuck in ebook limbo. I'm picking at yet another in the 1632 series--mired in it, really--and am too broke to buy anything. I think I'll begin picking at "Cranford," by Mrs Gaskill. At least it'll be more my time period than 17th century Germany by way of West Virginia...
