March is over and I could not be happier! It was a very hectic month; I think the only weekend I didn’t have to do work was Easter weekend and of course I was busy with the holiday then. Hopefully, now I can get back into reading and reviewing more. Even without having a lot of time to read, I have 4 books to review (Primary Inversion, The Sparrow, Melusine, and The Virtu). Now I have just started the final […]
The 2008 Hugo Finalists have been announced. The nominees for best novel are: The Yiddish Policeman’s Union by Michael Chabon (HarperCollins, Fourth Estate) Brasyl by Ian McDonald (Gollancz; Pyr) Rollback by Robert J.

This means that this review may contain some spoilers for Flesh and Spirit since it would be rather difficult to discuss even […]
I was going to post this last night, but blogger was down when I went to do so. Over at OF Blog, there is a kind of fun reading game if you’re one of those people (like me) who can never get enough of book lists.
