I have to put one of my dogs down today. She can't eat anything due to the enormous tumor in her stomach, and she's dwindled to the point where her quality of life is horrible.

A 2009 reading list so I can keep track of what I'd like to read next year as well as what actually gets read. I suspect that the trashy books about zombies will get read before anything actually thought provoking ( Read more... )
