I had to go downtown today for a meeting with one of my college professors (or from some perspectives, ex-college professor, but I digress).

On Boxing Day, as is tradition, I went downtown with my brothers to gawk at the goods on sale (and pick up a few at discount, generally at World's Biggest Bookstore and my favourite Toronto merchant, The Hairy Tarantula). This year I brought back with me an interesting book by Jim C. Hines called Goblin Quest.

This novel is amazing.
