Fantasy author Robert Jordan has died. I wasn’t a fan, but lots of readers are. Condolences to family, friends, and fans.

Deathly Hallowing
Time for some first impressions on Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, which I finished reading about an hour ago. I’ll color-obscure the text here, so you’ll have to highlight to read it. Oh, and for the purposes of the … Continue reading
