I like the Christmas decor. Your answers to the "changed my way of thinking" question made me think... there are certain books, genre classics, that many SF readers have read and loved and shape a point of common reference. <i>The Forever War</i> is one of them. My hub is a SF fan, but he has the strangest taste, prefers media spin-off books, and almost never finishes books I give him, including Forever War. Sigh. I put up with him anyway - even though he complains about nothing to read when he's surrounded by literally thousands of books of mine he's never touched. Nice new header!
