Back from the Dead

The site's back! It had been overrun by spammers, and until I've patched the site, you'll not be able to contact me. Hope to fix this soon, though...

Quotes by Raj Patel

“There are two novels that can transform a bookish 14-year-old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish daydream that can lead to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood in which large chunks of the day are spent inventing ways to make real life more like a fantasy novel. The other is a book about orcs.”
