Howdy-

How long did you want the review of The Mayan Prophecy to be? Incidentally, it's actually a well-written and non-crazy take on the subject.

Hi,

Sure, sounds good. I was just about to get around writing a review for that other 2012 book, and I'll have it to you soon. But the damn thing doesn't even really talk about 2012 so much as it does menstrual cycles, so go ahead and send the Mayan Prophecy, too; we can do both without too much overlap of subject matter.

Dear God... Some books are even worse than anticipated – it's a total mystery why they were ever published.

Also, I'll be in Dallas for the holidays, so send the book to 3419 Westminster Avenue #25, Dallas, Texas, 75205, if you would.

On its way. Enjoy the book and Christmas. I'm working nights over Christmas, so I'm stuck in London. It's rather nice on Christmas Day, though – no traffic, quiet, and even the scam artists are in front of their televisions with a drink.
