    <about><![CDATA[I mostly don't review any book I haven't read in the last couple years, my memory is too flaky and I'm sure I'm not the same person that read them back then.<br/><br/>I should probably have more of a reading plan, but I'm not much of a planner.  I mostly just read whatever's in front of me when I finish my current book, which makes for a lot of randomness.]]></about>

          <body><![CDATA[This business of rating things is funny sometimes.  I enjoyed this book, I was sucked in and there's not really anything that bothered me about it, but I can't give it more than 3 stars.  On the other hand I rated things 3 stars that I absolutely hated parts of, but felt there was more depth.
