8 chapters in and I just can't finish this one. Is it me or the book? ]]>
This is a good introduction to Zope 3. I've been reading it off and on since I started working on Launchpad, which uses Zope. The book was good for helping me get the terms and conventions of Zope development, but Launchpad has a very particular use of Zope 3. Some of the more general web dev uses of Zope 3 covered in the book don't apply, for that reason.
But still, this is a good overview of web development using Zope 3. I would recommend the book if you're trying to get up to speed with Zope. ]]>

I liked this as a casual read. It was a nice take on the classic Eternals. Kirby would be proud. ]]>
There are some great essays here and some long and winding, less interesting, essays here. I read them out of order and sporadically and enjoyed the book, but there was a part of me that was disappointed. Perhaps there's no way to avoid too high of expectations with a title like this. But overall, certainly worth a read. ]]>
I spent all summer on this book. I enjoyed my time in Sag Harbor so much that I couldn't bring myself to finish the book, even as I waited anxiously between reading spurts. The characters are so richly and lovingly drawn, the community is vivid. I just can't say enough good things about this book. When I finished, I wanted to start it again. Right then. I'm not sure if I've ever had that feeling about a book.
I've been a fan of Colson Whitehead since his first novel, The Intuitionist. I read Apex Hides the Hurt, too. I liked each of these, and liked them a lot even, but it's Sag Harbor that really has won my heart. This is a beautiful story about growing up in the 1980s that I could really identify with. And I could go on, on, on. It's really just that good. ]]>
