    Word of the Day
    POSTED May 15, 11:08 PM
    The word of the day comes from the very beginning of Elizabeth George's new mystery: Careless in Red. Inspector Lynley is on the forty-third day of his solitary walking tour--an effort to cope with his wife's recent death. He sees a solitary surfer and realizes they have a kinship in choosing to be alone: " He knew nothing about surfing, but he knew a fellow cenobite when he saw one."

    cenobite-- a member of a religious community
