Review: Eastern Standard Tribe


Eastern Standard Tribe
Eastern Standard Tribe by Cory Doctorow

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



Dark and Doctorovian, with a lot of premonitions of [b:Makers|6422238|Makers|Cory Doctorow|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1266690436s/6422238.jpg|6611457]; it explores a lot of the same themes, including creativity, trust, the families we're born with, and the families we make.

Review: Script and Scribble: The Rise and Fall of Handwriting


Script and Scribble: The Rise and Fall of Handwriting
Script and Scribble: The Rise and Fall of Handwriting by Kitty Burns Florey

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



A very entertaining light history of handwriting, including the author's own memories of pens, ink, and Catholic-school handwriting practice. Lots of fun.
