Book reviews

First, thanks for the virtual flowers, Clark & Lex! And the sweet things from svmadelyn's lovefest -- they are much appreciated, so much so that I am going to work on my Lex/Lana story on the Metro and see if I can't get it done soon. In the meantime, I have over 30 books in the hopper, so I'll work on the backlog, starting with some nonfiction: ( Why Do Men Have Nipples, New Media, and Who Owns Culture? (three books) )

ETA: LibraryThing now has a "completist" section on its stats page, so you can see what authors are likely to inspire collections -- that is, if you own one book by that author, you probably own several books by that author. Scroll down to see; coffeeandink in particular might be amused by the results.

Fiction reviews

In which I am bitchy.

( Fallon, Gould, Heinlein, Stross )

Oooh

This is utterly charming as a comment on the power of love (who wouldn't want a bulletproof rose?), and this would be perfect for Lois Lane, at least the one who works for the Daily Planet.
