The Naming of the Dead by Ian Rankin

2009-08-25T04:37:06Z

This is the second John Rebus book I have read (listened to). As with the other one, it seemed to be a good book, but I couldn't really tell you what happened. The narrator did a good job, and I adore his accent, but too much of the time I didn't ...

QotD: Plans for My Remains

2009-08-16T00:15:09Z

Do you plan to be buried, cremated, cryogenically frozen or something else? Submitted by aynge. I want to be turned into diamonds. So cremated, at least. I most decidedly do not want to be embalmed and buried. That has to be one of the most f...

Naked in Death by JD Robb

2009-08-01T19:57:53Z

I have been given two later books in this series, and my understanding is that this is a series that must be read in order. So I picked up the series debut's audiobook at the library and listened to it. After reading the cover blurb, I was not ex...

Vox QotD: Ghost Story

2009-07-27T17:40:02Z

Do you believe in ghosts? Not actively, but I try to keep an open mind. I've never experienced any kind of ghostly phenomenon myself, and I've heard plenty of ghost stories that are obviously bullshit, but I have also heard accounts of ghostly ...

QotD: Make New Friends, but Keep the Old...

2009-07-21T16:21:10Z

Who is your oldest friend? Of people I am still in contact with, I guess it would be my friends from CSC retreat. I probably started attending that shortly after birth. I'd be hard pressed, though, to say which one I met first. Liz, maybe, or Da...

Vive la France!

2009-07-16T19:38:06Z

In honor of Bastille Day, we'd like to know: What's your favorite thing to come out of France? A hovercraft. :-) Seriously, I love French pens, especially Waterman and Jean-Pierre Lépine.

Visiting Fort Worth

2009-07-07T04:36:28Z

Pax had a conference in Fort Worth, Texas, last month, and it coincided with our 16th wedding anniversary, so I tagged along. After getting settled into our hotel (The Renaissance Worthington, very nice) we had our anniversary dinner at Reata. ...
