Holy crap, January flew by! The first month of the new year is always the fastest, and January 2012 was no exception. Where, oh where, did the past 31 days go?

Of course, the new year held a great surprise for one of my Facebook fans. The first winner of the raffle never claimed his prize, so a second drawing was held, and the winner was Chris Lavoie. Since Chris lives in Connecticut, I... read more »

An extraordinary conclusion to an extraordinary trilogy. Stroud, frankly, had guts to end the series the way he did. Bravo!

"Not that I've read this myself, but I'm shocked to see anything by Chesterton on your reading list. He wrote occasionally for Columbia, you know."

What happened to your review? Take it down? I was looking forward to refuting it.

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
My rating:
didn't like it it was ok liked it really liked it it was amazing

Like J.K. Rowling before her, Suzanne Collins has crafted a compellingly entertaining novel, even if the concept is something we've seen before. Written in the tradition of The Running Man by way of Shirley Jackson's "The Lottery," readers will proba...more

My first foray into the work of George R.R. Martin. The Ice Dragon is a good as any of the short fiction written by Tolkien. An excellent story, though it is deceptively marketed for children. [Listened to the audio book.]

“I think that storytelling and creation are very close to what the center of what magic is about. I think not just for me, but for most of the cultures that have had a concept of magic, then the manipulation of language, and words, and thus of stories and fictions, has been very close to the center of it all.”
