Here.
The booklist for this month may be incomplete. I think I read more than this, but, as I haven't been updating regularly, it's hard for me to remember what, exactly, I read. But, since I can't remember, it's fair to say that whatever else I read didn't leave much of an impression on me. At any rate:

I don't really know what to tell you about what I've been reading this last month. It's really the same old same old. If I had to pick something out, I would tell you that Tom Robbins is as good as he's cracked up to be; he's like a cross between Vonnegut and Pynchon, if you can imagine that. But, frankly, I don't have much to say. Wood's arc in DMZ is interesting, but I'm going to withhold my review until the run is finished (next month, I think).
Furthermore, on the politics front, I don't have much to say about the last month, frankly my head has been in the sand for most of it. I have something like 300 unread blog posts in my RSS reader, and that is with me reading them for the last two hours.
I think Obama supported that idiotic FISA legislation. I think McCain made an ass of himself over veteran's benefits. Whatever. More to come.
