“Cesar’s Way: The Natural, Everyday Guide to Understanding and Correcting Common Dog Problems”

A book critic’s view on Harry Potter and the death of book reading:

it looks like a bad case of cultural infantilism

I just spent all afternoon on the deck finishing off Midnight Tides (4/5) – an ongoing installment in the mind-bogglingly panoramic blood-and-guts-a-little-too-much epic fantasy from Steven Erikson (I had the UK version, sent from Ireland by Martin). Can’t wait for the next installment.

Oh, and if you haven’t ordered your Amazon copy of Harry 7 yet, use this sponsored link to give money to Ballard Corners Park.

    Yes, Harry Potter is a Bad Thing, because it encourages the Wrong Kind of Reading. Bad Reading. With Small Words and Trivial Themes.

    Silly man.

    Anway, I’ll rant about him on PreModernist rather than here. Glad you liked Midnight Tides, it’s over-long but good, especially the louche hidden-genius brother of the General. About to hack a path into Repear’s Gale, which features the return of Karsa Orlong, the Barbarian’s Barbarian…
