Saturday, April 26, 2008 2:15 PM: Library Thing Tag Mirror For no terribly good reason, here's a tag cloud covering that portion of my library that I've entered into LibraryThing, which is most but not all of it.

Though you may try your best, my friend, There is no light at tunnel's end. I've no advice to recommend, But only this refrain: There is no light at tunnel's end. That glimmer's just a train. (See also last year's Holidailies triolet. It's less bleak.) Comments by HaloScan. |
