"Sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast."-Lewis Carroll
Inspired by one of our October reads, Not Quite What I Was Planning: Six Word Memoirs by Writers Famous and Obscure, we found six things that caught our eye this month (thanks to suggestions from our fabulous readers) and tried our best to sum them up in six words. After all, we're a soundbyte nation. (By the way, that was six.)
