I found this pretty satisfying. ( Read more... )

I read this at the hotel in Boston and at the airport. In this volume, humanity rediscovers Gil Zinder's theories, and, in trying to fight off a deadly foe, pretty much blows a hole into the space-time continuum. Obie and Mavra need to find Nathan Brazil and make him return to the Well World to try to fix the hole... but can it even be fixed, or ( Read more... )

Book 3 in the Well World series. ( Read more... )

This was pretty awesome. I particularly liked the article about Maya conceptions of beauty, but all the articles were really interesting!

The first in the "Well World" series. I accidentally read the second book first, so I wanted to go back and catch up before moving on in the series.

I *would* have, because it's Jack Chalker, but he kind of blew his wad too early ( Read more... )

Good articles this month. There was a piece on yoga class podcasts and web videos that was really interesting--right now I do my yoga in a different part of the house from where the computer is, so the video wouldn't work for me, but an audio podcast might be nice sometime.

Not my favorite of his, but Jack never lets me down. Although I discovered that this is not actually the first in the series--it's the first of the duology about the epic war, but it's not the ( Read more... )

This was a fun book, I guess. I think I just need to stop reading memoirs by privileged white women. Julie was raised to be a princess, to find a rich husband, so she had trouble finding and keeping a job, developing work skills, and surviving on her own. She had to rely on her rich parents for most her adulthood, until after she married and had ( Read more... )

I liked this book a lot up until the last two chapters. ( Read more... )
