For those of u that don't know, i am a huge Lemony Snicket fan, and the thirteen and final book in A Series of Unfortunate Events was released on Oct. 13th.  i am reading the book as we speak, and it seems pretty good so far.  it has that signature flavor and poeticness right from page one along with the realization of how truely wicked the world is and just how hard it can be to make it through.  Lemony Snicket begins the book by talking about peeling an onion and brings this action into dicussion and relation to real life and his story.  i would definately recomend reading the whole series, if you haven't already.
