		<description><![CDATA[SF novelist Jim Macdonald has an article, &#8220;Fence Your Stolen Content at Amazon.com&#8220;. He discusses the threat of e-books as becoming the new breeding-ground fir spammers and search engine scammers: &#8220;With the cost of self-publishing approaching zero thanks to e-publishing, and with content-farms being depreciated by Google, it seems that spammers have taken to e-publishing.&#8221; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Now, don&#8217;t get me wrong: when I say &#8220;perfect,&#8221; I don&#8217;t mean Sucker Punch is a perfect film in general. On the contrary. It&#8217;s a bad film! The script is spare, uninspired, and tedious, and the acting (with the slight exception of supporting actors Oscar Isaac as &#8220;Blue&#8221; and Carla Gugino as &#8220;Dr. Vera,&#8221; and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Freedom(tm) is the sequel to Daniel Suarez&#8217;s brilliant Daemon. It&#8217;s going to be impossible for me to review Freedom(tm) without spoilering Daemon to some degree. Daemon told the story of a genius online game designer who over years set up a hidden system within the Internet to awaken upon news of his death. That&#8217;s where [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of my English Masters program classmates posted on Facebook that he recently bought an electric typewriter, and posted pictures. My initial knee-jerk reaction was, &#8220;Heh, cool.&#8221; Then my first reasoned mental response was, &#8220;Wait, what the heck is a typewriter for? Why in the world have a typewriter? Would he actually use it? Do [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I recently read Thomas Pynchon&#8217;s The Crying of Lot 49. Finally. Pynchon is a paragon of postmodern fiction, often named in the same breath as Kurt Vonnegut, J.G. Ballard, and Don DeLillo. In fact, reading &#8216;Lot 49, I was heavily reminded of Breakfast of Champions (which I read back during High School, so the memory [...]]]></description>

Thanks to family members&#8217; generosity with Barnes &#38; Noble gift cards, I recently acquired a stack of books I&#8217;ve been pining for for months, and in some cases, years. Every once in a while I&#8217;d visit them on my Amazon Wish List and coo, &#8220;one day, my [...]]]></description>
