Why I Fucking Hate Dollhouse
So I’ve gotten through all the Pawn Stars available on Netflix, and now I have a stack of gender and Islam books to get through, and you know, hey, sometimes I need a break. It’s been a long week here already and its only Wednesday. I’ve got a new dog that won’t crap outside, bad

Sex, Death, and the End of the World: Thoughts on The Windup Girl
There has been a lot of ink spilled (real and virtually) about Paulo Bacigalupi’s The Windup Girl. A few months back, I decided to see what all the fuss was about and ordered a copy. This was a dense book, the type you don’t see mass marketed very often, in large part because it throws

Where Have All the Brutal Women Gone?
One of the things that bled out of me after I got sick was all the rage and anger and angst. Oh sure, I get upset at things still, but I no longer get worked up into a blind rage. Whenever I start getting worked up, it hits a certain pitch and then it all

All That’s Fit to Print
God’s War, the novel I started back in the misty-haze of post-graduate school in Chicago, is now available for pre-order on Amazon.com (and Borders, Barnes and Noble, and Night Shade’s site, of course). Proofs are in the mail, and I’m told there will be cover art to weep over (one way or another) quite soon.
