Dear Microsoft Word,
Stop changing it to HOUSE OF HOLDS. It was funny the first time, now I'm just stressed out.

When I was little, I knew I was a bookworm but not what order to say it in.

Bill Gates messes with my professional life too!
It autocorrects my study species from "grylle" to "grille". Some day I won't catch it and will look like a moron.
Next they'll integrate with MSN and autocorrect every mention to Bear Grylls.
but "Holes" is a word. Why correc it? what gives, MS?
Also is HoH good? My book club for dudes is considering it, but because it is new and hardback and expensive, i want to make sure it is good before lobbying for it.
HoH is okay but I don't think it would make for a good book-club book. Not so much for the salaciousness of the material as that there's not much to talk about in it, other than "Wasn't it crazy when--" (Not that it's not fun to have that conversation.) In that respect VOX and THE FERMATA were much more interesting.
