Books...

Palgrave's Golden Treasury. I love. That book. Of course, the selection is a bit weird in places, but there are still many great poems in it, and it's great for daily commuting.

A Long Way Down is still an absolutely awesome book. I love the characters and the way he makes them interact and tells the story from their point of view. The man is a genius.

Oh, and I've started The Twyborn Affair, although I didn't really like the beginning a lot, so I'm putting it off.

Curious...

Lots of snow?

Hm. 

And proper snow, too, with big, fluffy flakes and all.

'....Years and years ago, when I was a boy, when there were wolves in Wales, and birds the color of red-flannel petticoats whisked past the harp-shaped hills, when we sang and wallowed all night and day in caves that smelt like Sunday afternoons in damp front farmhouse parlors, and we chased, with the jawbones of deacons, the English and the bears, before the motor car, before the wheel, before the duchess-faced horse, when we rode the daft and happy hills bareback, it snowed and it snowed. But here a small boy says: "It snowed last year, too. I made a snowman and my brother knocked it down and I knocked my brother down and then we had tea."...'
