So long, and thanks for all the fish*

Well guys, I think it's finally time for me to admit that this blog has come to its end. I've been putting it off as long as I could, in the hope of my life getting back on track enough that I'd have the time again to blog and write reviews, but unfortunately it doesn't look like that's going to happen anytime soon.  So instead of just disappearing and letting you wonder what happened to me (which I hope that at least a few of you might)...

A Cruel Trick in a Public Park

So I was wandering around the Jerusalem municipality buildings the other day, looking for a comfortable spot to read for a bit, when I came across what looked like a park full of pillows. A park full of large, squishy pillows and couch-sized cushions. In short, it looked like a book-reader's heaven... Until I noticed the sign... I bet you can imagine my disappointment.
