I'm going to sit on my third nomination a but longer. So far there's nothing I wouldn't read if I can (a bit more on that later). The Dowager sounds delicious and I'm wondering where my much tattered copy of Alice, Let's Eat as well as the subsequent two books in Trillin's "Tummy Trilogy" has got to.

I always like to make a nomination of my own, but right now, when I can't see my monitor, I can't see what unread books I've tagged as "Humor" in Calibre, but I might nominate an old favorite at that.

My issue, as some know, is that I've had two bouts of eye surgery this summer., unfortunately on my "good" eye. I'm not supposed to read and I can't make out what's on my computer screen. My online life is achieved by holding my Nexus 7 up to my other eye, but that doesn't lend itself to lengthy screeds. I have been able to listen to two of the last three selections (as well as the first two Aubrey/Maturin books -c'mon over!) and at some point I'd like to comment. I may just boot my computer and have at it. Warning: My touch typing is on par with my bridge.

ETA: I realized that this sounds dire. I have every expectation of a full recovery. It's just taking longer than I'd like or anticipated.
