Three-month anniversary
December 3, 2001 (3:43 AM) ( link )

Congratulations to this site! Today my book review page is officially three months old. In the last month, I have read three novels and two graphic novels; I have accordingly added five reviews for a total of 39 reviews. Since I began the site, I have read nine novels and six graphic novels. Not bad overall! In other web-site news: it seems that a lot more people have been visiting the page recently. What seemed to have helped the most was a mention of my page on Pat Nichols's own web site; several MIT people seemed to have unwittingly followed the link to this page.

In current reading news, Yendi is turning out to be, like Jhereg, a fun and quick read. It tided me through a couple of terrible out-rounds at the MIT Debate Tournament too. A Prayer for Owen Meany is terrible, terrible, but I've read so much of it that I feel like I really must finish reading it. And, finally, applications are almost all done, which means I can soon turn to my thesis (e.g., non-fun reading that I won't review on this page). Ah well: at least I know what I can do if work gets too tough.
