The title is not a reference to that disgusting website; rather, I think it refers to the concept of a sudden onset of many skirmishes in some kind of battle - I've just started it and I don't read summaries, so I'm not really sure what the story is, but he's a psychic investigator in Chicago, so it's kind of fantasy/horror/mystery kind of fusion writing, and Butcher does know how to write well - I think I'm going to enjoy this and likely the whole series.

Just started, but I always love books about books.

Maybe that would make a good topic in itself...watch for it in a forum near you.

Listening: _Space Cadet_ by Robert Heinlein. Been on a listening kick of his juvenile novels recently. Takes me back to junior high. Not sure if that's a good thing or not

2013: 93 and counting.

It's It Can't Happen Here for the twenty-first century. I think I'll post a separate thread for it when I'm done, which will be later today or sometime tomorrow.
