geekyTHERE WILL BE SPOILERS.
Seriously. If anyone comments here at all, THERE WILL BE SPOILERS. So please don't read and then yell at me because you encountered spoilers. You were warned. (I will not reply to every comment; I call partial comment amnesty. But I may well join some of the discussion, or answer questions or whatnot.)
You can also start a book discussion at my website forums, with less need to be concerned that I will see everything you say! In case you wanted, you know, discussion free of authorial influence, since I always wind up getting involved in these things.
Have fun!

Not because Shaun is offering to wrestle a zombie moose, though that did help. But Shaun's always been my baby, so to speak, and when he had switched to the Adaptive Immunities blog in Deadline, I legit teared up, because it broke my heart that he was so... well, broken, even if I could understand it.
But then there was the zombie moose quote, and I smiled, and then I saw the citation: "From Hail to the King, the blog of Shaun Mason"
He's back on his old blog.
He's back being an Irwin.
I seriously just started sobbing when I read it (which really freaked out my wife, who was about 300 pages behind me thanks to being ill and needing to nap - I had to reassure her that it wasn't bad, since she was planning to finish the book while I was at work.)
I think that was a nice, lovely, last-piece-falling-into-place touch.

Thing of beauty, that. :)

My birthday's tomorrow.
This was basically the best birthday present EVER.
