Edited by Groff Conklin Wow, this was an amazing anthology. Everything from Lovecraft to Bradbury. Conklin is an amazing editor with fantastic taste. Plus, there's something kind of awesome about reading a book that is physically older than I am...

By Simon R. Green This is a fun book! I'm becoming more and more of a fan of urban fantasy, and this is a prime sample of it. A little pulpy in spots (both in the literary and the literal...

By These Guys Man, I love Dr. McNinja. Having the comics in hardcopy was an added bonus, but when I saw that the graphic novel had bonus features and preserved the alt-text commentary from the site (plus added commentary for...

By Barry Eisler I really enjoyed this somewhat pulpy thriller. Set in Tokyo, it follows the adventures of John Rain, half-American, half-Japanese assassin, as he deals with the aftermath of what had seemed like a routine assassination. There's a beautiful...

by Rosalind Joffe and Joan Friedlander I got this book through the LibraryThing early reviewer program. This is a must-read for women with autoimmune disease, especially if they are interested in being/staying employed. The text is a little too self-consciously...

By Charles L. Whitfield M.D. I wasn't terribly impressed with this book, but it did give me some food for thought. It's very compact, written concisely, and in a dry, non-engaging style. It was written 20 years ago and feels...

By Kathy Reichs I was unimpressed with this book for two reasons, one of which is admittedly unreasonable. Firstly, I read the book because I love the TV show based on it, "Bones." Every single thing I loved about the...
