Our Man has been missing much of the fun with Chinese spies and genital cooking stories. But don't eat your face off (no, no, no, this doesn't work - ed.) because he has been busy.

| Our Man finished Barry Eisler's The Detachment. And here's a half-ass review because he's gotta save his creative juice for finishing his own novel - Half-Life 2:46 . Guess you are not supposed to do book reviews as numbered bullet points, but Our Ma...more | |
