33 New Book Reviews, and Some Upcoming Changes
Some of you may have noticed that I have not put up many book reviews lately. My brother and I have been making some major changes to my book review site. None of them are visible yet, but they all hopefully will be before the end of the month. I can promise an awesome slew of search features that will make navigating the book pages simple, and be an interesting and fun exercise in its own right. For now though I have put up reviews of all the materials I have read since August. I was not able to make changes to the content of the site, so I had quite a few sitting on my hard drive, just waiting for the right moment. Well, that moment is here. I will let you know more as the other features come on-line. Actually, I'm on pins and needles about some of them. I want them NOW! But, Ill have to be patient. Hope you enjoy the new reviews.

Looking forward to seeing your new review site. Thanks for all your work.
Look, I'm not much good at big speeches, and I know I haven't always been an easy guy to get on with, and I know, that given the choice, I wouldn't have chosen you as friends, but I just want to say, that over the years, I have come to regard you as people I met.

Oh you bastard. I wasn't quite ready for Wild insults yet. I don't even think they fixed the Excel Center yet after all of that RNC bullshit.Omphalos wrote:Tsk! Are the Wild already sucking so badly that you have to be this cruel?Nekhrun wrote:Way to go Harriet!

Last time I was in a used book store, I saw a copy of that dictionary of sf places. Maybe I should have picked it up. My so far tiny sf reference section could use some beefing up.

Look on Amazon before you buy. I saw one in a local used book store here for $10, then checked there and saw a bunch of used ones for like 25 cents plus $3.50 shipping.Liege-Killer wrote:Last time I was in a used book store, I saw a copy of that dictionary of sf places.
