Book Log #76: The Year of the Flood, by Margaret Atwood
It wasn’t until I actually started reading Margaret Atwood’s The Year of the Flood that I found out it was in fact a sequel to Oryx and Crake, which I am told is actually a better book. This I didn’t find a hardship, because I did actually like The Year of the Flood. And thankfully,…

This is the (overdue) part 4 of my series of posts on how to choose what you want in a reading device. This particular post’s topic: do you want a device that just focuses on reading books? Or do you want it to do other things as well? I was pretty happy with my iPhone…

Yet another power outage

Yay!

Buffy the Vampire Slayer reboot, Whedon-less edition
A lot of word has been going around the net about how there’s going to be a Buffy the Vampire Slayer reboot, without Joss Whedon. My reaction? I think I’ve already lamented enough about the current Hollywood trend of endless reboots, but this in particular seems a particularly silly thing to reboot–after all, the original…
