Pixar’s Up: Paradise Lost at Paradise Falls | Overthinking It
“And mee with thee hath ruind, for with thee
Certain my resolution is to Die;
How can I live without thee, how forgoe
Thy sweet Converse and Love so dearly joyn’d,
To live again in these wilde Woods forlorn?
Should God create another Eve, and I
Another Rib afford, yet loss of [...]
I just finished The Gathering Storm, book 12 of the Wheel of Time. I badly need some sleep.
It is, of course, completely ridiculous to attempt a review of the book. I couldn’t even begin to make any headway into the plot if you haven’t read the other eleven books, and I’m sure anyone who is [...]
Snow Crash is a novel about hackers. This is fairly obvious, although like in many dramatizations these hackers are not particularly realistic-one is a champion swordsman, which is hard enough to take, and another is a hot chick, which we all know is utterly ridiculous. It is, in fact, a book where they are the [...]
After quickly scrutinizing the two dangerously buff men coming toward her in the dark and wondering whether she could take them both out, P.I. Velma Plusch mentally inventoried her arsenal-two pistols, two stiletto-clad feet, two leather-gloved hands, two each eyes, ears, lips, and breasts-and decided that she could.

These are Time magazine’s “All-TIME” 100 best novels.I glanced through, so I already know my ignorance is going to depress me when I’m done. The ones I’ve read are bolded.
1. The Adventures of Augie March (1953) by Saul Bellow
2. All The King’s Men (1946) by Robert Penn Warren
3. American Pastoral (1997) by Philip Roth
4. An [...]
I guess this is why I should try twitter, because I really have only one thing to say.
Faile is 15? FIFTEEN? WTF!!
By the way, like most of the commenters there, I also think the spanking was the best thing he could have done to resolve the situation, gender politics or no gender politics. At least, [...]
I blame John Scalzi for turning me onto this(even though he did try pretty hard not to even mention what he was responding so angrily to), although I’m surprised that I’ve never even thought about the larger issue before. The larger issue being racism and diversity within the world of SFF. Obviously, I’ve thought about [...]
Including Steven Levitt.
Every single one of the comments on that post essentially say that the books were “terribly engrossing, yet poorly written.”I don’t think I’ve ever seen that level of agreement on any post on Freakonomics before.
Although my actual quote was(context should be obvious):
It’s good that kids are reading but that’s almost like [...]
“In other words, he is exactly the vampire we want right now: sure, he’s strong, he can fly* and his skin sparkles in sunlight, but more important, he’s not going to go and do anything stupid with his 401(k).”
–About Edward Cullen (Twilight), in a Newsweek bit about vampires in pop culture (yes, I subscribe).
Oh, and [...]
Second stab at twilight, brought short by this:
“…I stifled a gasp.His white shirt was sleeveless, and he wore it unbuttoned, so that the smooth white skin
of his throat flowed uninterrupted over the marble contours of his chest, his perfect

realized with a piercing [...]
