I think about death a lot...not in, like, a depressing way, but in a nerdy way.

Reacting to 1-Star Reviews of My Favorite Books
We are allowed to have different opinions on books--really, we are, I promise. The thing about the internet is, we now have a place where we can share our opinions with everyone under the sun, and those opinions are immortalized. So, I decided to visit Goodreads and check out one-star reviews of some of my favorite books and respond to the folks who think the stuff I read is trash.
