Though strictly speaking I haven't blurbed <i>The Explosionist</i> because I haven't read it yet. Caitlin: I’m glad you’re liking it.

Well, good to know I'll actually be able to get my hands on it when I clear away some of the rubble from the literary explosion that takes place in my room every vacation.

LOVED IT. If you like Jenny's blog then you will love this book - it's exactly as smart and interesting and filled with fascinating twists and turns through history as you would expect. And chilling - really chilling in a "politics are scary" kind of way. (Think Jo Walton's "Farthing" kind of chilling.)

Congratulations! Marrije: I've not been able to do much pleasure reading lately. The book I'm working on requires a tonne of research so I've been reading many non-fiction tomes and for some bizarre reason people keep sending me books to blurb (though the last one was a <a href="http://justinelarbalestier.com/blog/?p=1241" rel="nofollow">beaut</a>). <i>The Explosionist</i> and the M. T. Anderson are pleasures I'm having to defer right now. Waaah! Jenny: You’re welcome! Congratulations!

("the explosionist" is currently winging its way to me (yay), since i pre-ordered it months ago). you are telling me you have not yet read this book?!?! how is this possible? i thought you would have read it months ago.
