    Oh, my dear, how marvelous! The Actons? The Windsors? He-Evelyn and Nancy? And Florence on top of it all? I'm simply green. There must be lots of ectoplasmic lazzi going on Up at the Villa.

    Gee, where are you?

    I’ve missed your participation at Anglophiles Anonymous. I hope it wasn’t something Mrs. Danvers said. Please do drop in – we’re attempting to determine our Top Ten Favourite British Novels, amongst other vital matters. And feel free to start your own discussion threads if none catch your fancy.

    Yours faithfully,

    Tinky

    My dear, you really shouldn't miss this dinner party at Manleigh if you can help it. See AA - it's going to be up your alley.

    Hi Ruthie. Well, I finished Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. I have mixed feelings about it. At first, I liked it and I really wanted to keep liking it, but the "gimmicks" started to detract from the story. I felt, at a certain point, they were a bit overwhelming. The book was quite unique and I admire Foer's risk-taking, but it turned out not to be my tastes. Sorry! LOL I hope The Blind Assassin works for you;) Out of curiosity, you said you had two books in mind for me, what was the other book?

    After 16 years together, I consider having him empty the dishwasher or take out the trash or play with our son to be the height of romance.;)

    Mission accomplished, I'd say, for you already are one -- and a lovely, bright one at that.
