Read Bookworm

You probably do already, but how can you not want to chat over coffee with a woman who takes a news story or commentary, shares it with you, and then expands on it in interesting ways? She does this sort of thing all the time.

Humor is not Bookworm's strong suit (not to say she's humorless, just that her writing isn't typically marked with comic zest). That, however, is what people like Tim Blair are in the sidebar for. Tim Blair vs. Al Gore? Blair wins every time.
