This is an excellent science fiction novel that challenges the notion of reality and perception. I am speechless!
Although it is classified as a science fiction novel, I have a hard time accepting it as such. It is definitely unlike any other science fiction book I have ever read.

		<description><![CDATA[I have added a feature that displays the most recent blog posts on my website. Sometimes playing around with CSS is a real chore; it took quite a bit of time to position that box correctly. And in the end, it didn&#8217;t display right in Opera or IE. Firefox, on the other hand, displayed exactly [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[An interesting article on how censorship does not work.  MSN Spaces is Microsofts blogging service that turns out to contain censorship controls.  However, they are far from perfect, and many titles that we, as humans, would deem inappropriate, make it through. Why try to censor blogs in the first place?
On another note, read [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Imagination Cubed is a very interesting idea. You can collaborate with others by scetching drawings using this tool. It looks really cool, and the different pens and brushes are nicely designed.  I have played around with it and the results are pretty good, considering my lack of artistic qualities.
The service is free - anyone [...]]]></description>

This is a collection of writings that were not published during Mark Twain&#8217;s lifetime. After his death, the editor of this collection presented the manuscript to Clara Clemens, Twain&#8217;s daughter, who objected to its publication because certain parts of it gave a questionable view of her father&#8217;s beliefs.

The back cover of this book proclaims it to be a love story that takes place inside a pack of Camel cigarettes. Actually, the love story revolves around the pack, but that is a minor detail.
Robins explains to us the mysteries of the pyramids, complains constantly about the uselessness of [...]]]></description>

The first snowmen of the year, made on Nov. 17, 2004, just outside of the Norwegian School of Management. I wish I could give credit to the sculptors, however I don&#8217;t remember who they are. Perhaps one of them will stumble across this entry and let me know. Although the chances of that are slim, [...]]]></description>

This is an excellent read! It is very cleverly written and actually had me laughing a number of times. Truss wants us to become punctuation vigilantes, correcting our deteriorating language whenever signs such as &#8220;Come inside for Book&#8217;s&#8221; make us wince in pain. The following are just some of the [...]]]></description>
