It is by the goodness of God that in our country we have those three unspeakably precious things: freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, and the prudence never to practice either of them.

Great, Fond of Books! I really hadn't thought of doing a Mr. Linky for the individual book reviews. I get everone's reviews through bloglines and technorati. I've got a ML for the "sense of place" contest, maybe you could get something to represent the book you just finished and link it that way?
Thanks 3M! I had forgotten about this. I'll get right on it! :D
