Saturday Evening Steyn


I was on a very long flight the other day and, to get me through it, I had two books: the new bestseller Of Thee I Zing by Laura Ingraham, and a book I last read twenty years ago, The Radetzky March by Joseph Roth. The former is the latest hit from one of America’s most popular talk radio hosts; the latter is an Austrian novel from 1932 by a fellow who drank himself to death just before the Second World War, which, if you’re planning on drinking yourself to death, is a better pretext than most. Don’t worry, I’ll save the Germanic alcoholic guy for a couple of paragraphs, although the two books are oddly related.

Excuse me while I indulge myself with a contented sigh as I curl up with some dark chocolate and Mark Steyn. Read the rest here.

    I just received his new book a couple weeks ago. Personalized. To me. From him.

    *swoon again*

    Of course, I have the most wonderful man on earth as a husband. He's understanding and knows I have a big time crush on Mark.
