Merry Christmas to you and yours.
May Santa bring you a bookcase.
Best part of the interview was when Hillbilly said that maybe someday his bookcase buying will catch up with his book buying and your response was basically “Yeah right, like that will ever happen.”
We had 2 walls of a room shelved for books in the late 90’s. It doesn’t matter how many shelves you have, you will fill them up.
i have given up on enough shelves unless I win the lottery.
Cool that you mentioned my post. Thanks. It was fun when he said that I opened a whole world of Fraser that he didn’t know about. That is what I was after.
Sometimes, I think I have read “Quartered” so many times that I forget how important that book is and the impact it might have on somebody on first reading.

There’s nothing more satisfying than turning like-minded people on to a book you know they’ll love. It’s the best kind of gif-giving, to my way of thinking.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to you and yours, Jim!
It’s a pity that the ancient custom of eating goose on Christmas has fallen so far out of favor. I understand the economics that made turkeys more attractive, but the “tradition” of turkeys at Christmastide is a very recent thing, relatively speaking. Robert E. Howard considered the goose the best of ALL poultry and I just might concur.

And to you, Deuce. I like me some goose, although our Christmas feast is always beef-centric.
Too long since we’ve talked. I have some breathing space for a few days and I’ll get in touch.

Chicken-fried steak for us, geese being somewhat thin on the ground around the old family homestead.
On books…you still using the email from last we talked? If you can shoot me a mailing address I’ve got a one might be of interest to you once I figure out where I left it…something about a shortage of bookshelf real estate. Seems a universal concern in these parts.
Meantime, a Merry Christmas to all my heathens. Here’s to another year ducking Krampus.
JimC says
Will do.
