Genial unctuosity

In the interest of bringing you the finest, most convenient online literary experience -- just short of dropping by chez vous with a bottle of Krug Grand Cuvee for you to sip while you appreciate our dazzling commentary -- we here at book/daddy have added a spiffy new feature over on the right side. Scroll down beneath our recommended books, and you'll now find "Best of the Vault." These are the collected editions of several lively, long-running topics, such as our early discussion of Literary Thrillers and our rabble-rousing against the Bush Necropolis. This way, you won't have to scroll through the long list in Archives, trying to decipher once-clever, now-confusing titles (what are "duelling bozos"?) but will now be gently guided to our anthology of favorites, sure to please.

Enjoy, with the compliments of the management.

"Unctuosity" can be found in the same Woody Allen dictionary that produced "jejunosity."

Unctuosity? Do I need to look that up on Wikipedia? Is this the noun/phenomenon version of "unctuous"? Next you'll be calling your blog "Reviewities".
