The Ashe review is up, and man, I love being pleasantly surprised.  Keep pleasantly surprising me, project!  I loooove you.

The next review will hopefully follow soon, since it's a nice two-hour listening affair.  Keep your eyes peeled (not really... that'd be disturbing).

Hurray, the Pratchett review is up!  Things are very busy and reviews and reading are accordingly slow, but I'm hoping to pick up the pace soon.

The long delay was because I was out on vacation and being a total slacker about work.  Worse yet, upon my triumphal return, my next book turned out to be a dud.  Alas.  The Cusick writeup is about two paragraphs of not helpful, should anyone feel the need to see it.

However, the next book is the Pratchett.  And that one is definitely valid.  So on we go!

It's hard to work when it's hot.  It's so much easier to whine.  Nevertheless, the Yu/Cheung review is up, and I can move on to the Cusick, which looks like nothing so much as a novelization of the 1989 Friedman/Rydall film.  And if THAT film didn't need to be immortalized in print, I don't know any one that does.

Sweet Jesus eating a cracker, it's been one thing after another.  Power is out, then internet is out, then banks are screwing up, then shows are going up at work, then it's a million degrees and the effort of typing would use up every ounce of moisture still clinging to my seared body.  For sanity's sake, I need some peace and quiet around here.  I've posted the Jones review, and am now off to completely switch oeuvres from "American comic crossover" to "romantic Asian cinema" for the Yu/Cheung film.  Wish me luck!

The forum is back (again)!  And while it was down, I finished the Herter review, which has been posted (beware: less of the introspection, more of the growling in this one.  I'll try to keep the next one more scholarly).

The pace is slow because life is busy, but since I have a deadline, we'll have to hope I can pick it up soon.

Revenge of the exploding forum!  It's down again.  While I twiddle my thumbs and wait for the problem to resolve itself, feel free to ignore me and go about your day.
