I am now at over 2/3 through Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman. I am a little disappointed that I saw the mid-novel twist coming, but as that there is still plenty of story left I will not despair.
Neil has a great way of writing, describing the "pretending to be sick" voice that Anansi used in one of his stories as a "weenie, weedy, weaky" voice. As a Latin geek (different from a
Latin Greek) from way back, I giggled for a good couple of minutes over that.
Hopefully I will have a full report on the book tomorrow, when I intend to finish it. Tonight, however, I must pay attention to the cookies I am attempting to bake. I wonder how people like Cajun-style cookies.

Cajun-style cookies? Hell, I'll try anything once--twice if I'm drunk! :)
I didn't know you were a Latin geek.

Nor did I know that you're a latin geek. You might chalk this up to my bad habit of not listening, but I would contend that the habit doesn't exist, and we would never get anywhere anyways.
