This is just a review of one of my favorite books, but I think I did a rather nice job of it. And it feels like going back to my roots to highlight an older book, since I spend so much more time on current books now.

And I chose this post about So Yesterday primarily because it's probably the most obscure, stream-of-consciousness piece of writing I've ever done, and completely opaque to anyone except me, and perversely, that amuses me.
