Quotation of the Day for January 3, 2010"I just wish that in the heat of battle, about which Bell writes with passion but an absolute lack of variety, I hadn't had to keep running to the Oxford English Dictionary to look up "widdershins," "osnaburg" and "barracoon," words that stop us dead in our tracks and make us feel like we're playing Scrabble with Yosemite Sam." - Robert Goolrick, in the Washington Post, December 12, 2009, reviewing Madison Smartt Bell's Devil's Dream.
