| I'm loving it so far; humorous postapocolyptic adventure. Characters are great and the writing is fun. The opening action scene needed tweaking. | |

So awesome and informative. I love that Mary Roach doesn't just report stuff she looked up, but instead takes you along for her research journeys. Really enjoyed it. I now know things I never suspected. Like how astronauts can't see the stars because...more |

| Fun shorts by some great names in comics, all set in various points in the history of David Peterson's Mouse Guard world. The stories are all presented as tales being told at an inn as part of a contest to clear bar tabs. Which is a great solution to...more | |

| Totally awesome. Reads like hearing a story. A fairytale with spirits from this continent instead of rehashing Europe's fare. De Lint is one of urban fantasy's creators and this book will show you where the genre can go and be. | |

“They jabbered amongst themselves in a bizarre jibberish that sounded like Spanish gone wrong: maybe gringo Spanglish, some kind of Espanahuatl that I hadn’t decoded yet, or a dialect of Spanmayan, Zapotecnish, Spanotomi, Mixtecnish, or some other new native language; or Japanish, Spanorean or…I’m getting carried away. You need a talent for picking up new words and grammars these days-it’s become an obsession with me, someday I’ll probably write a book about it, but in what language?”

“An orphans curse would drag to hell
A spirit from on high;
But oh! How more horrible that that
Is the curse in a dead man’s eye!”

“One IGHS member said that, yup, she could hear it, too. Then again, during a dinner conversation earlier in the trip, this same woman heard “Siegfried and Roy” as “Sigmund Freud.” The resulting image-Sigmund Freud with flowing hair and tigers and too much men’s makeup-haunts me to this day.”
