Housekeeping

Oh yes. Over the next few weeks I am writing a "gift guide" for the Phoenix.

I can't get my hands clean enough after writing the above.

And lucky for you it didn't get published this week, namely because of a mistake on my part (though uninformed of it) to get the piece in before Thanksgiving, as the Thursday deadline had of course changed.

So you have that to look forward to next weekend.

In the meantime here's what you can expect over the next month.

I am going to try (try is the operative word) to do a book a day for the month of December. Outlining the best books of 2009 in the humble opinion of your friendly Devil's Accountant.

That of course will start on Tuesday. Tomorrow I will wrap-up our lovely month of apocalyptic celebration by talking about Harold Kamping and the neo-prophets of doom. Neo. Harold probably hates having neo anything attached to his sonorous gavel maw.

Carry on.
