I’m still recovering from latke overload last night.

I’m babbling. Check out these holiday/year end links:
The Guardian has published their list of the Best Fiction of 2006 in their usual laid back style.
Read the heart-warming Christmas story about the old lady who received the gift of whale vomit from her elderly sister.
BookLust has a nice round-up of Christmas reads.
