Sorry to barge in. I nominate this post as post of the year. Some year. This year. Whatever year it is that there has been renewed interest in the Watchies.

The current Watchies would be for posts in 2011, Av. Could go spotlight it, though, if we had a 2012 spotlight thread.

Quoting murrin's post in the 2011 Watchy Discussion thread, in case he wants to be reminded to consider nominating such next year.

By ussusimiel, about Understanding Media and the multiple nature of identity.

Murrin, thanks for spotlighting wayfriend's singing and generally reminding of this thread. Though I'd say missing a beat in such a case only makes it better)

"People without hope not only don't write novels, but what is more to the point, they don't read them.
They don't take long looks at anything, because they lack the courage.
The way to despair is to refuse to have any kind of experience, and the novel, of course, is a way to have experience."
-Flannery O'Connor

"In spite of much that militates against quietness there are people who still read books. They are the people who keep me going."
