Will do :)
We can reschedule this if you'd like, Traveller. I will still read it before the end of the year, but we can talk about it any time. (I finally finished Shriek; I think I failed at reviewing it, but it is done.)

I'm afraid I had miscalculated the time I'd need for Xmas shopping this year. Looks like the shopping list has shifted to having to buying electronic gifts, so my entire day has been wasted spent reading up reviews for gadgets on the internet, lest I commit the terrible mistake of buying the wrong product. Oh, the joys....
I hear you. I think I already goofed on electronics and I still don't have anything for my nephew in spite of a weekend of walking through shops like a zombie.

I don't know what age he is, but a nice set of earphones / earbuds or headphones is always a nice thing to have a spare of (unless he already has 10 of them). Don't be fooled by the cheapies we used to have in the olden days - go ask for a good pair of Klipsch, Sony, Pioneer or Shure and you will see that indeed, one can pay a lot more for a lot better sound quality. If he's under 9 years old, a 'good' pair may be wasted on him (they're always losing/breaking them), but if he's over 6 or 7, he might still appreciate a cheapie.
Oops, this is the wrong thread for this. I guess I'll delete it later. :P

As for me, I am happy to postpone discussion until such time that people have time for it, especially since I really want to do the Bradbury which is coming up next week.
