    That tension between melancholy and happiness. We all revel in it.

    Do let us know how the books are...

    Those titles sound like they would have a lot to say to one another. Glad I found your place- (through AROS) Have a great rest of the day.

    Natalie, I like it very much so far. He's very clever, funny and sensible.
