    Oh we're such good friends we don't need gifts. Besides, you suggested the book. I just voted for it. If anything, you should be sending me a reward. So where's my box of goodies?

    Oh yeah, is that so? I think I deserve a present just for nominating the book!

    Oh, come on, folks! Let's read something other than depressing, I-wallow-in-my-own-self-pity Hardy, please!

    This Hardy story is far from depressing. It's quite unlike his others. It has a lot of wit and fun in it and romance. I think, if you give it a chance, Scher, you will like this one.

    I think that's what I am worried about, Janine!

    and has Christmas atmosphere in it too.

    Sher, Janine is right, I saw the movie, it wasn't depressing at all.
    I don't like much heavy writings, but I like Hardy.

    Quark, thank you for 'surprise gift'

    Rousing praise from caspian.

    You're right, though. The tone of the book is much lighter than other Hardy novels. It's a comedy, after all.

    Oh, fine. Mystery gift for you too:

    It's a mystery, but it's also probably going to be a baby gift. So it's not really a mystery--more like a baby gift with a vaguely mysterious air about it.

    What happens if there's a tie?

    Then, Powers That Be flip a coin to pick one of the books that tie.

    Not that I don't trust the "Powers of Be" but can we see a video of that?
