In my experience, a novel takes three months to write, so I expect a copy in March. Kidding, kidding. Maybe you'd like to use some of your cigarette money to pay for us to take a web design course. Then we can make the CR site even beautifuler! I’m so excited for you, and you know I can’t wait to read your book. In my experience, a novel takes three months to write, so I expect a copy in March.

Another train and Gaiman and book lover! And anyone who has "whippersnapper" in their word cloud warrants many a read. Enjoying your blog and will delve back into time when I want to escape my own work. Glad I looked! Another train and Gaiman and book lover!

SO DO I. Kristin Hersh + her husband owned a home in Cleveland Heights very briefly maybe 5 years ago. I met her at an in-store performance at the Borders in downtown Ann Arbor soon after they moved away and she was very excited to see people from Cleveland! I wish she had more of a Rust Belt connection. Her DIY approach to the music business is very interesting, and she'd be a neat person to interview for CR because of that.

I like your glasses-removing idea better for questions of this nature. Also, can “I’ve been too busy reading" be an acceptable excuse for not doing other things? Because it pretty much covers all the stuff I don't get done in my life, from laundry to thesis outlines.

I just pulled out my copy of Minne the Mump to read to my son. It was so my favorite book as a child - I obsessed over it as well proven by my five year old writings all over the original copy. Why I loved the book so, who knows! But it definitely made me a hypochondriac as well:) OMG! I just pulled out my copy of Minne the Mump to read to my son.
