Yeah, yeah, linkspaming. I don't care.

First, I'm sort of a fan of Dune. I don't think that hardcore fans would think I count because I got into it through the Sci-Fi Channel's miniseries. I eventually managed to read most of the series.

Okay, so I've heard about the Mark Reads... site from his reviews of the Harry Potter and Twilight series (Mainly from TVTropes and Fandom_Secrets).

Something I found reading the New York Times today: Ring otaku. Mind you, this is the Wagner opera cycle I'm talking about, not the Japanese horror movie. I knew about Bayreuth festival and the madness it inspires, (I still want to go to it at least once...) but this is totally otaku behavior. It's fascinating ( Read more... )
