Summer said: " And another book falls victim to the ever-present threat of the Vicious Undergrad. Come on guys, classes haven't even started yet - can you at least let me finish this before recalling it? I'm really enjoying it, too.

Summer said: " I'm on Chapter 8 (pg. 134) and I'm leaving this note for myself as a bookmark because someone has recalled the book and I have to return it to the library now.

Working for a school would be great if it wasn't for all these dang students. "

I don't know how I missed this one when it was first published - I guess I got it subconsciously mixed up with Underground. If you like Murakami, you'll like this brief book of short stories, all of which take place after a major earthquake in Kobe.

A decent book on the American toy industry and the marketing machine that drives it. Contains a monstrously depressing chapter on the overseas sweatshops which produce a large amount of America's playthings.

The straightforward prose belies the fact that this is a very complicated text. The reader is very important part of this book.

I was going to give this one star because Evanier still hasn't apologized for Scrappy-Doo, but I guess that's not the most responsible reviewing policy.
