If I was to take a look at my outfit, I’ve got a metal bracelet on, a zipper, and metal bra hooks, this means that if I was a character living in the Territory in Steven Gould’s 7th Sigma. The territory is basically the Southwestern US. It is infested by these dangerous metal eating bugs […]
Interview With The Vampire by Anne Rice Book Review
July 6, 2011
I think that I am so conditioned by my overall reading choices that I come into books with certain expectations, despite there being nothing in the publisher summary about my expectations.
