“You need only reflect that one of the best ways to get yourself a reputation as a dangerous citizen these days is to go about repeating the very phrases which our founding fathers used in the struggle for independence.” — Charles A. Beard

Book 10 – The Shadow Rising (The Wheel of Time, Book 4) – Robert Jordan (finished 02/13/2004) “The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again. In one Age, called the Third Age by some, an Age yet to come, an Age long past, a wind rose in the Mountains of Mist. The wind was not the beginning. There are neither beginnings nor endings to the turning of the Wheel of Time. But it was…

OK, so the “marriage is love” thing (see previous post) has been spreading like wildfire. When I posted my part, there were 59 pages of comments – now there are 69 (heh heh – she said “sixty-nine) pages of comments – that's more than 1800 comments!

Book 6 – Jennifer Government – Max Barry (finished 02/02/2004) Oh, this was a good one. Picture a world where corporations have taken over everything, the police are for hire, and government has to raise funds to chase criminals. My Australian friends probably won't be happy to hear about the “Australian Territories of the USA”. Fun, funny dystopia – I highly recommend this book. Oooh – and tonight I'm getting it autographed – Max Barry is going to be at a local Barnes & Noble. Book 7 – The Great Hunt (The Wheel of Time, Book 2) – Robert Jordan…
