Pshaw. I think Jane Eyre is wonderful, although I prefer Emily to Charlotte Brontë, and Heathcliff to Rochester...

I appreciate Jane Austen, but I don't enjoy her work.

One of my many shortcomings... ;)

No. I love it when my wife buys me books :) And if it's a favorite that I don't already own (or even on the occasion that I do already own it), even better! :)

My girlfriend will vouch for the fact that males who love reading love getting books as presents.

Yeah, I hear that a lot. I think most people's qualms about it have to do with how confusing the ending is. But I loved the way it evoked Victorian London in my mind, the novel's premise seemed creepily believable and, therefore, plausible.

Hey, wait a minute. Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey. Hold it. Now, are we actually gonna go before a federal judge, and tell him that some moldy Babylonian God is going to drop in on Central Park West, and start tearing up the city?

I actually don't think that's it. I'm not exactly sure why I didn't enjoy it. May have just been the mood I was in when I read it.

I need more caffeine. I thought you wrote FERAL judge...

And that summoned up some other associations.

Now that's funny, because while I was copying and pasting, I was thinking feral judge....

But you'll have to order the entire Time-Life series of books to know what that means.

wintermute, you ever read Alfred Bester? If not, I recommend The Demolished Man and The Stars My Destination. I think you'd like them...

Stars is one of my favorite science fiction novels.
