[Blogger] Book Review Sites

January 7th, 2004 · No Comments

I’ve spent the day sloughing through online book reviews and opinions. When I do stuff like this it all goes back home in an email; which I promptly forget about. Email is the worst communications media ever. Anyway, in an attempt not to lose information that my google/slashdot adventure has provided - BLOG POST.
