Darwin's Radio by Greg Bear
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Darwin's Radio might be the most engaging sci-fi book I've read in months or possibly years.
Although I had to fight my inclination to edit the book as I read (Bear gives lots of extraneous details that hinder rather than help, and has some clunky...

Dude. Game knitting. You have to try this.
Lee Meredith's ebook about it is worth the download. I printed the relevant pages and brought them with me on a wee trip we took last weekend, and I'm not sure I'll ever be without a game-knitting project whenever I travel from now on.

Something occurred to me out of the blue today: during my last few months as editor of Interweave Crochet, as the company was beginning to focus more on the possibilities presented by online tools and social media, I wanted nothing to do with any of it in my work as editor. Crazy, hey?

The Echo Maker: A Novel by Richard Powers
My rating: 1 of 5 stars
I couldn't finish this slow, overly descriptive, not-at-all intriguing, boring novel. It was a book-club pick and only two people finished it, one kicking and screaming.

I write here about creative business, crafts, books, pop culture and generally about ideas that force their way out of my brain. Wanna talk about stuff? Don't hold back.
