I loved In the Garden of Beasts, though not quite as much as The Devil in the White City. Then again, I love the latter more than some pets I've had.

I've heard that too, and I CANNOT WAIT.

TO SAY NOTHING OF THE DOG is one of my top five favourite books of all time. It's sheer delight.

This. I have read it three times now (VERY rare for me).

This. I'm on my second copy, having actually read my first paperback of it to death.

[elirrina]

Me too!

I haven't read any of those yet (although I believe Night Circus is on my ridiculously-long To-Buy list), so I'll just say: Yay, Books!

And Happy New Year!

To Say Nothing of the Dog!!!! Connie Willis is my favourite. I highly recommend Blackout/All Clear after that book if you haven't read them yet and are willing to sacrifice a significant portion of your life.

Re: Dorian Gray: given how much Wilde was responsible for the FAA~AABULOUS stereotype (even in a legal context), "super-gay" really is appropriate. Maybe "proto-gay" is more accurate, but still.

ur-gay?

There are far too many terrible jokes to be made out of "ur-gay," but yes.
