		<title>The Thousandfold Thought by Scott Bakker</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Thousandfold Thought is the third book in the Prince of Nothing series by Scott Bakker. I thought it would be the concluding book in the series, but the ending is left open. The book's a solid advancement of the series; we get to meet papa Moënghus, find out that he's been behind everything-- but [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Warrior Prophet by R Scott Bakker</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The second book in the series, an excellent continuation from the first. He doesn't make the mistake of expanding the points of view too greatly.
Long story short: if you liked the first book, the series gets better. The hard work of figuring out the overall situation is over-- now you get to see how everyone [...]]]></description>

		<title>Weather Warden by Rachel Caine</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Thanks to Stacy for the loan!
I enjoyed the first three books of the series: Ill Wind, Heat Stroke, and Chill Factor. They all have a very different feel but share being fast, fun reads.
Joanne goes through a lot in these books. In the first book she's on the run, hunting for a hidden ally... and [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Darkness that Comes Before by R Scott Bakker</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A pretty good book, filled with intrigue. It was almost set aside; the prologue felt very fan-fic, with a super heroic character, cut off from everything, overcoming outrageous odds and completely manipulative and dispassionate. Fortunately I stuck it out and got much more appealing characters in the next several chapters.
The book has the struggle intrigue [...]]]></description>

		<title>Beyond Heart Mountain by Lee Ann Roripaugh</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A short, beautiful collection of poems. The book is organized into three parts, with the middle being a collection of poems from the perspective of internment camp survivors. They're fascinating and intertwine; one is a sister worrying about her brother (sent off to the no-nos camp), another is from the brother explaining why he couldn't [...]]]></description>

		<title>GenCon games</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I tried out four new RPGs, most of which I've been following casually since development-- and one, Burning Wheel, which I'd owned but had been too intimidated to run without playing. After playing it, I think I could run it-- and would enjoy doing so. Dresden was fun-- very like I expected, but it was [...]]]></description>

		<title>Uncle John&#8217;s Curiously Compelling Bathroom Reader</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A lot of short snippets-- random lists of facts, two page articles on a lot of interesting topics, longer articles on vaudville and other quirky topics. There's a lot of readers digest like articles-- strange laws, stupid burglaries, accidental discoveries-- plus odd facts about toilets and sewers to fit the overall theme.
It was fun, entirely [...]]]></description>

		<title>Alcestis by Katherine Beutner</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A fascinating take on myth, grounded firmly in historical Greece. The world is alien but dimly familiar; the encircled and separated world of women, the grim brooding of a father who still blames his daughter for the loss of his wife in her birth, sisters and rivalries, and the terror of getting shipped off to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Exploration morning of 7/21</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Four corners this morning: Ashlan and Cedar, Cedar and Nees, and two corners at First and Nees. 
I had hopes for Ashlan and Cedar, given the new 168 nearby. It's an ugly mess of old and new-- and the new is all full. Not worth it! There are a few interesting shops in there as [...]]]></description>

		<title>Niffty Lease Space search tool</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Showcase.com has a google map style pan and zoom around town map with lease listings. Click on an R and it pops up some quick data [property type, rent/SF/yr] and has a "view listing" link at the bottom with all of the extra info. It looks like a lot of spaces get good information-- a [...]]]></description>
