The Forever War by Joe Haldeman

[This review was posted 6/22/2006 at wotmania.com. Wotmania closed down at the end of August 2009, and most of the members have since migrated to RAFO. I’m moving the review here because, being normally narcissistic, I do not want to lose it. Also, I am currently somewhat sick, so this has not been edited. I’m sorry: [...]

Something Wicked This Way Comes; The Illustrated Man – by Ray Bradbury

[Most of the members can now be found at RAFO.] It has not been edited, since I cannot remember the novel in question. Seriously. The cover [I read the blue twilight edition) is lovely, and that is all [...]

Update

I also need to look at my Mark post, and rewrite bits of it, and add to it, and maybe buy it some new shoes. Pretty ones.

After a while I figure the post-frequency shall settle down to around two a week, but that is for the future to take care of.
Over the weekend I shall [...]

New header! Old posts!

Soon to be new ones, too. This is tentative, since I have made similar promises before, but I am crossing my fingers.
In the meantime I am putting up some old reviews I put on wotmania over here. Wotmania has closed down, everyone has migrated to RAFO, as is good and proper.
The new header was made [...]
