		<title>2009 Book List</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This year was a pretty good year for reading. I managed to get through 61 books, with only 6 repeats (italicized. Of course, this does not count the several books that I started and did not finish &#8212; I will not count those until I actually finish them.

		<title>A Matter of Classification</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Lately, I have been using the public library here in town a great deal more since I discovered that I could request inter-library loans over the Internet.

		<title>Thoughts on &#8220;Poltergeist&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On Halloween, I have a bit of a tradition: I like to watch a horror movie that night. The choice for this year was Poltergeist.

		<title>Another Emily-ism</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ This picture is of one of the lovely Willow Tree figurines that Ashley has been collecting since we have been married.
