The Web version of my junk drawer
I committed myself to reading a book a week back in early January, based on Julien Smith's tips on how he did it. The end of this week will be week 10 of the year and I will have finished 8 books and will finish at least one more by the end of my long flight home tonight and I have one more at home I'm almost done with. You can see all my book reviews on my Goodreads profile. I still have a few more to add there but so far so good. I'm a little behind but only barely. All that travel recently really helped out.
Found at Barnes and Nobles.
My current take-a-way is that the remix culture is about to go mainstream. Some would argue it is with works like Pride and Prejudice and Zombies but the remixing mashups are spreading like a zombie virus, it's jumping to other steampunk/horror/scifi themes and will soon jump beyond the classics. They'll largely stay based on public domain books for obvious reasons but this will rapidly diversify beyond niche fiction like swine-flu jumping from pigs to humans.
Also watch out for Frankenstien. Koontz has been rigging on this for a while but the Frankenstien as the ultimate mashup will become the new zombie.
