		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m not much into fantasy, but this book caught my eye. Well, actually, my boss recommended it and it intrigued me. The one line description: a Unix programmer is pulled into another world where he develops a programming language for magic. That was enough to spark my interest. Now, I&#8217;m not much of a programmer; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Once I would have said that I leaned Libertarian in my political views. Then I started hearing more about what Libertarian actually believed. From what I can tell, it&#8217;s far more than a free-market small government attitude. I started realizing that the underlying philosophy was aggressively anti-God. It just so happened that some of my [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Can man travel through time? As cool as that sounds, I doubt it could be possible. I doubt it from a philosophical point of view: if I could travel in time, why couldn’t I change history? Crichton argues that no significant changes can be introduced, but his explanation falls a bit flat. Science teaches us [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yes, this is another collection of short stories by Keith Laumer. That’s because Laumer didn’t write many long stories. Laumer has a knack/gift for distilling a book to the essentials: the climax. He manages to bring you in just before the climax, grant you sufficient information to understand the climax and then takes you through [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I decided to review both books simultaneously as they are both compilations of short stories. Laumer&#8217;s books are intriguing for their styling, both fast paced and full of interesting similes. Much of his work is (apparently) focused on a lone wolf hero who must rescue the world. I can see that come out over the [...]]]></description>

At least I thought it was amusing, but my wife says that I have a dark sense of humor&#8230;. It&#8217;s really short; grab a link at the end and read [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Star Born brings an interesting twist to science fiction (at least from my experience and perspective). Norton explores the differences of two groups of humanity that have developed differently for decades. That isn&#8217;t unusual in itself; what is unique is the subtle differences formed by climate, civilization, governance and genetic strains. The group that colonized [...]]]></description>
