Done! Both are interesting books, so I hope you enjoy! (The Prog Paradox was interesting but more conservative than my beliefs. Still thought-provoking though and I enjoyed reading it.)

Neat! I was thinking the Paradox book would be interested in light of reading "Paradox of Choice".

Is The Progress Paradox by Gregg Easterbrook? He also writes a weekly football column for ESPN.com, except it's often filled with politics and how physicists are going to eventually destroy the world with particle accelerators. Um, yeah, I just wanted to read about last week's games...

I'd love it if you could give [info]cinnabarine The Loved One and The Wings of the Dove, as well as Fast Vegetarian Feasts, for me.

I'll negotiate the transfer to me with her, as she's coming to visit me! {happy dance!}

Thanks for putting them up for adoption!

I'm not moving until September, but if you want to find a secret stashing place near Davis, I could dig it up then.
