In one of my fits of procrastination (when I should have been writing one of the two papers I have due next week), I finally went out and bought Cassandra Clare's first published work City of Bones out of sheer curiousity now that it's finally hit paperback.
( Lauren's review/thoughts/spoilers under the cut )
I did think it was hilarious that she referenced The Very Secret Diaries like she hadn't freakin' wrote them herself. It was the pinnacle of arrogance, but I suppose a lot of the girls who are drawn to the books probably won't be fangirls, and we'll only just laugh at the obvious webgeek culture reference.
And then, because everything last night was terrible and I had to make myself feel better some how, I rented The Seeker which was the Hollywood adaptation of Susan Cooper's The Dark Is Rising and all I can say is I'm so glad I didn't spend $10 at the movie theater.

I guess now I descend into the utter madness that is this paper pretending all along that Nozick and Rawls were having paper airplane battles over whose theories were better. In my heart of hearts, Rawls always wins, but that isn't really likely given the nature of the two. You know Nozick was a vicious son of a bitch who went to Harvard's physics department and made them fold his airplanes for him.
