"I am just going outside and may be some time." - Lawrence "Titus" Oates

The Girl with the Tangerine Scarf.
Fascinating stuff.
Accessible, readable, intelligent, fun in an educational-but-not-dull sort of way.
Thought-provoking.
Go.
Read.
Trust me.
Would I lead you astray?

And for those of you with the YA jones:
The White Darkness.
Symone is a majorly kick-butt teenage girl.
How many fourteen-year-olds do YOU know who fall in love with dead Antarctic explorers and thwart a madman who believes that the earth is hollow?
Not many, I’ll bet.

(This book made me contemplate my small-to-medium-sized collection of Arctic/Antarctic literature and decide I really really need to do some thrift store shopping soon. It also made me drag out my copy of With Scott to the Pole and fall in love with Titus Oates my own self.)
