The Sound of the Crowd

Strong like an Amazon, baby

As most of you reading this will know, I have a pretty bad book habit–like at least one every four days. Not yet being independendly wealthy, this habit is mainly fed by regular trips to my local library.

Another habit I’ve gotten into is occasionally posting reviews to Amazon.com. These tend to be looser (and much, much shorter) than those I write for Ink 19. But hey, over 100 people have found them helpful. How bad can they be? A few of them–the Buffy books–are in fact condensed versions of longer reviews I wrote for the site, but the rest are all original.
