The Destroyer gave me two great gifts on my birthday--a brief case/new gaming satchel, and a book,
The Translator by John Crowley. It's an excellent book, and Crowley writes a suggestive book, both allusive and elusive, in which not much happens, and it's all on the small scale of a girl's life, and yet it is a deeply moving and engrossing book. I recommend it to anyone interersted in good writing. I must find something to give in return.
