Read More ...Nearly a dozen bits on “art”
Yesterday I ran over to John Scalzi’s site and read through a collection of posts he noted as his “Best of the Year.” If you’re one of the six people in the world who doesn’t read his site, you should wander over there. It’s good stuff. Afterward, I scanned through my own posts this year. […]
