They do make good companions. Yes, this was a very good reading year! I'm hoping that 2011 will be as well.

But, wow, you read a lot of good stuff this year.

In some weird way I feel like I'll love them both and for that reason I'm holding off on them because I don't want to "waste" them. Which is crazy, I realize, and yet such has been my motivation thus far.
