What is it about Fall that drew me to a few (but just a few) more intelligent reads?  Oh, yeah, had to stop the brain melt from so much trash last season.

i'm also proud to say that i checked out two bits of mind"less" reading from the library before the holiday began, sampled both, and declared them too dumb to even finish chapter one.  So i started Asimov's Foundation instead.  Slow start, picking up steam.  i'll be pleased to add that classic to my Winter list.  i'm trying to be interested in the stash i've been collecting for some time -- read it or pass it along or maybe both.
