Totally with you... all my books went bye bye in the great diaspora (okay, it's not a diaspora if you move to Michigan and back, but really, close enough... and I like that word). But I guess it doesn't require ownership if I can quote most of Cormac's trilogy anyway :-)

Onward! Time to catch my blog up, and catch me up on reading yours too!
