Isn't it nice to get a free copy of a classic. There's not much we can say that you can't read elsewhere. Read the book, don't watch the movie.

Stuck in it was a bookmark advertising David Mitchell's new book, The Bone Clocks, which went on sale September 2. We wish they'd passed out ARCs of it, but they didn't. We've put it on our To Read List, which we will start on when we've finished this project.
