A Game of Thrones

As much of a nerd as I am I somehow managed to never get caught in the iron claw of Fantasy Fiction. I played Dungeons & Dragons, Magic Cards, nagged my parents about going to the Renaissance Fairs and Medieval Times but when it came down to books full of knights, wizards and dragons I couldn't do it. Those sort of things were things better kept in my head where my imagination can play. I remember...

The M Word

Currently Loving: My maths teacher's total obliviousness to the youth of today's language. Today we had to explain what LOL, ROFL and LMAO meant. He thought the latter was LAMO, as in, what a lame joke. He seemed to get that alot. Maybe it's just cause I'm growing up. Maybe everyone thinks the world is ageing with them, that the prospect of something once so well loved is now looked upon as babyish...

Choose Books: A New Series

As folks plot out their holiday gift-giving, I'm starting a new near-daily series here at Isak that will run through the season and that has a very simply, very direct message: Choose books as your gifts.

The store was pretty busy, but I was the only person in the book section...
