Front page, even. (I mean how else would I know?) You can imagine the puns! The puns! The horrible puns! We had the snow here. I was walking home late through it, and it cheered me up no end. It's currently settled down into the much more typical slush with occasional patches of ice. Still bloody cold.

I didn't discover Empty World and The Guardians until I was older though. Have you read 'The Death of Grass'? Very grim, but very memorable. I also recommend 'This Perfect Day' by Ira Levin - it's a particularly compelling example of that type of initiation/breaking free pattern. Maybe you know those already though.

And it hurts physically so much the next day. One of the used bookstores here used to be open all night on Friday. Haven't been since they moved location though and don't know if they still are.
