    My review of Ceridwen Dovey’s first book Blood Kin is up at LibraryThing.

My review is up July 9th, 2008

    Last night, I finished Zittrain’s The Future of the Internet and How to Stop It. Interesting read, but waaaaay too long (I have started reading his blog though). You can tell it has the academic slant to it. What passes as a “full review” here on {head}:sub/head is up over at LibraryThing.

Back in the saddle! March 13th, 2007

    It’s been too long since I posted and I’m fighting the urge to just spew forth a link dump here. Too many good blogs out there mentioning too many good things.
    So I’ll kick off my official a-few-days-of-catch-up with my not-so literate review of Bill Bryson’s latest book, which I just finished.

Just finished… January 3rd, 2007

    Jed Rubenfeld’s The Interpretation of Murder.
