On The Scourge Of Pour-Over Coffee
I clicked on one of the links in the article and saw a $19.99 ceramic version of the $2.99 Melitta #2 cone filter holder I've been using for the past 15 years or so. I put a few generous scoops of $7 per pound freshly ground coffee in the paper cone and pour water that's been nuked for 3 1/2 minutes over it, and the heavenly brew goes into my favorite $2.99 ceramic mug. It's a pretty quick process for me, and the coffee is still very hot when it's ready to drink.
I can't believe I've been doing something trendy without knowing it was trendy, especially since I've been doing it this way because I'm cheap and don't want to waste brewing a whole pot of coffee for just me.

On 'The Thorn Birds': When Young, Sexy, Straight Priests Roamed The Earth
Oh yeah! I had a Literary Guild membership about the minute I got a job when I was 16 (no bookstores at ALL around) and this book was one of my first purchases. Good stuff, though I'm not sure what I'd think if I re-read it today.
