What are you reading this week of December 20, 2015? [View all]

I'm now into the 3rd Outlander novel, Voyager. Two hundred pages in, eight hundred to go.

Last year David Wong, author of John Dies at the End And Cracked editor wrote this funny, yet eloquent, essay about Christmas. Thought you all might enjoy reading it.
