Newbie with a review.

So, after a few persuasive pushes by my housemate, I have decided to post a little about a book I read a number of years ago, so I admit I'm a little fuzzy on the details, but I still remember the resounding feeling of disappointment upon finishing. Hello there G.P. Taylor. I honestly don't care about the 'religious connotations' in the book. I read His Dark Materials when I was ...

I'm trolling my own hiatus, but some things just need to be catalogued for posterity. You're taking notes. Possibly on metaphysical poetry, possibly not. In any case, there's a word you know exists, but it's being particularly evasive. Incredibly so, actually.

"White Midnight" by Dia Calhoun

Hello all! I, like most everyone else posting in the past week, found this comm through the spotlight. I have a habit of ranting about things, from books to TV, but this is about the only book that I ever really hated enough to post about here.
