Name five of life's simple pleasures that you like most, then pick five people to do the same. Try to be original and creative and not to use things that someone else has already used.

1. Settling down with an entertaining book, folding up or stretching out and being warm -- straight up, there

I was in a kiddie lit class last semester and had to review a whole ton of kids books. One that I chose to do was Gaiman's "Wolves in the Walls," which was not as scary as I expected (and not nearly as freaky as Coraline) and was very, very good. Dave McKean illustrated again. If you're in the mood for a very quick Gaiman fix, I'd recommend it. It's pretty eventual.

Actually, that's a good word for everything on the "simple pleasures" list, I think. They're all eventual.

I read it in Borders, actually. It's a book I plan on buying for my kids, 'cause I want 'em to grow up twisted with a dark sense of humor. ^_^ Seriously, though, it's just the sort of book I would have liked as a kid.

What do you think Poe read? That's what I want my kids reading. Except I don't want them to grow up and marry their cousins...

Well, long as you manage to keep yourself alive and keep them from having an unnatural fixation on their dear departed mother, they oughta be okay. Hopefully.
