This is an archive of my shorter book reviews and notes, which historically have been posted over at the 50 Book Challenge on LiveJournal, but which I’m starting to move over here. I’m posting them with altered date-stamps, but they might show up in my LiveJournal cross-post anyway. Bear with me, please.
Note: Many of these books also have full reviews available in the book review podcast (RSS).

It poses the question of which would win, given a level playing field, enough water to maneuver, but not so much the bear couldn’t keep its purchase: a bear or a shark.

I liked reading it, but I also like watching television, foreign-language commercials, and amateur videoblogs, so I’m really easy to entertain.
