Back home again!

I'm back home again. I probably won't bother to read all the missed LJs, so if you posted something you think I should see, please link here.

Welcome back! Sounds like you had an exciting trip. What was all the public speaking about, anyway?

I was at the yearly national meeting of my union, the National Education Association. Turns out the meeting is the largest "deliberative body" (that is, largest group that debates and makes decisions face-to-face) in the entire world. *gulp* Didn't know that before I stood up to speak. Probably a good thing...

Welcome back!

The only thing I wrote that might interest you is a review of the Yiddish Policemen's Union by Michael Chabon- you can also find my goodreads review of the same.

I have heard good things about that book, and coincidentally T$ is reading it right now, so I will give it a shot when he is done.

The book I write about in this post is awesome.

It generally takes a lot of recommendations for me to read non-SF/fantasy. For example, the book that [livejournal.com profile] seekingferret recommends wouldn't've caught my eye except that one of my HS friends w/ a similar taste in books recommended it, plus T$ who usually reads nothing but comic books and books for class is reading it. I'll keep "History of Love" in the back of my head though.

YPU science-fictional, you know... Won this year's Nebula Award and it's up for the Hugo, too. Chabon is not traditionally an SF writer, but SF is escaping its ghetto!
