J.R.R. Tolkien: The Lord of the Rings
It feels silly to recommend the book from which my parents got my name - I'm sort of bound to like it, right? - but if you haven't read this, you have absolutely missed out. Tolkien is simply inimitable, and Middle Earth is his masterpiece. Even disregarding the name thing, I'd be a different person without this book. (*****)C.S. Lewis: The Space Trilogy
I don't generally enjoy science fiction or fantasy, but I've read this trilogy (consisting of Out of the Silent Planet, Perelandra, and That Hideous Strength) several times, and I get more out of it every time. Lewis is a master writer and a master thinker, and he does great work here. This is the kind of literature that changes you. (*****)Diane Mott Davidson: Catering to Nobody
The first of Davidson's eleven-book series of mysteries featuring caterer/detective Goldy Schulz. Not great literature, but thoroughly enjoyable - and filled with mouth-watering descriptions of delectable foodstuffs. Worth reading if you're a mystery buff, VERY worth reading if you also like to eat. (****)Dave Barry: Dave Barry's Greatest Hits
Dave Barry can always, always make me laugh. Which is probably why I own so many of his books, and reread them more often than I'd like to admit. Plus, you know, he really can write. (****)Dorothy L. Sayers: Murder Must Advertise
I recently reread all of the Peter Wimseys (out of order, as is the prerogative of someone to whom they are old friends) and finished up with this one. Sayers' plotting is pure genius and her writing is impeccable. If you like mysteries and you haven't read these, do it pronto! (*****)

That is so sweet! My daughter's name is Fiona, and the first time she called herself "Nona," we melted. She's been Nona ever since :)

So freaking cute!! I love when they make that leap and figure out that baby in the picture is them.
I really ought to make use of the nifty video thing on the Macbook, so I can post adorable videos. But, uh, I don't know how. Because I'm pathetic.

Your arms look really buff.
And Billa? Thinks her name is Bubba, if you ask me. ;)
