She was my professor in college! I've read her memoir about Proust (yes, you heard that right) but never this one. Got to get on that...

I was never a huge literary nerd about authors' lives and stuff until I read this book in HS.

I've never turned back.

I am a GIANT book nerd. I loved this book.

I have never heard of this before. English Major FAIL.

And I even wrote a huge paper on George Eliot for British History class in college about 9 years ago.

I am putting this on my list.

SADIE. I am so into this. Can we please have a book club? A nerdy Jezebel book club?

I've also had a long-standing book crush on this:

Lately I'm on a kick of really missing having carpeted floors. I look at the cover of that book and want to crawl right in there and lay all over on the carpet and take a carpet-nap.

Interesting Attorney General pick. While I do love Mr.Obama, it's a bit perplexing that he's basically vetting the entire Clinton administration for his cabinet. While this is obviously not a bad decision, the whole 'Change' rhetoric is starting to sound a lot more like rhetoric. Any one else a tad confused?

@lastbroadcast: @La Chica Lucy: I think it's hard to be 'changie' when you are the 'changiest' thing that's happened to your party in a while. There are certainly qualified newbies out there but we know Obama likes to surround himself with the best and the brightest, maybe that means some of the old crowd? Or a lot of the old crowd?

@stacyinbean: Excellent point. And, as I said, I don't feel any of his choices thus far have been poor ones. It just feels a little weird, I guess... seeing some of the same names from the past crop up again. I love Hillary (my state Senator) but one of the reasons I voted for Obama in the primaries was I'm kind of tired of the same people controlling our country for decades. I didn't want another Clinton administration (nothing against him; he was the first President I voted for and I think he was a good leader) almost as much as I didn't want another Bush administration. Okay, I REALLY didn't want another Bush Admin, but I guess I just expected a few more fresh, or maybe even Republican, faces. I hope I'm making sense, as I really need to eat. Chili, here I come!

@lastbroadcast: I think the analysis that I've been hearing is essentially that he doesn't want to pull a Jimmy Carter, or Deval Patrick where you come in preaching a lot of change and disregard the old guard and established people. Veterans might be a little stuck, but they're useful.

Ted Stevens needs to be staked out in a remove corner of the tundra right in front of a large herd pissed-off, ready to rut and roll caribou.

That about does it for me.

@Rose.Selavy.Needs.A.Drink: Can Sarah Palin be in a helicopter directly above, trying to shoot the caribou, only she misses and hits Stevens instead? Can she? Oh, and then her helicopter malfunctions and crashes, while the caribou graze on whatever it is they graze on, with that bored bovine look on their faces? Cuz that would definitely do it for me!

@Rose.Selavy.Needs.A.Drink: ABC news reports that he just officially lost, you'll be thrilled to know.

I personally don't get any schadenfreude out of this, since I grew up in AK and while he was always corrupt and everyone knew it, he really did do what he was supposed to, to wit, bring home the bacon. All eras end, though. I hope Begich hooks his constituents up as much as Stevens did, and without the graft and the crazy republicanism.
