I'm going to have to read Gaudy Nights. I'm pretty sure I'm getting a kindle for christmas (squee!! There's a distinctly kindle sized box in with a "don't open until christmas" sticker in my guest room) people keep quoting from it, and I'm officially intrigued. I think Gaudy Nights might have to be my first kindle book!

Looking forward to reading your essay. They missed out when they didn't include it!
