Now that the ridiculous “25 things about me” meme (which I refused to participate in, on principle) finally seems to have died on Facebook, an old booklist meme, which I did on Livejournal sometime during the Christmas season, appears to have resurfaced. I thought it was a sloppy list the first time I did it [...]

Habeas Corpus by Jill McDonough (c) 2008, Salt Publishing $11.96 at Amazon.com (Review follows post intro). I’ve accomplished scandalously little in the way of schoolwork today.
