How much do I want to do this? So much that I am tempted to mail-order a husband.

I can haz awesome job? And keep posting blog? And...

A Not-Quite Scathing Review of "The Lathe of...
The Lathe of Heaven by Ursula K. Le Guin My rating: 3 of 5 stars Before proceeding with this review, I have to admit something: I’ve never been a fan of Urusula K LeGuin.

Surface Detail, Iain M Banks
Surface Detail by Iain M. Banks My rating: 4 of 5 stars An Impressive Work of Scope, and Gravitas I think what we all really love about Iain M Banks is his ability to come up with an idea, and then to not only run with it, but to travel at light speed with it to the furthest edge of the galaxy of our imagination… and sometimes one step further.
