Cool I'm the first person to review this book.
So I shop a good amount and almost every saturday I go book shopping, a few weeks ago I was around downtown manhattan later than usual so I couldn't make it to the strand before closing so instead I went to st. marks bookstore, the thing about places like st marks isn't so much that they have tons of great independent fiction (they don't have more than the barnes and noble I work at) it's that they have some choice books that are sort of out there things that you don't run across other places and their right up front.

But it's a lot of great really short perspectives.
all the essays are here http://www.ireadwhereiam.com/ I believe if you'd like to take a look, it's in a book, a reading rainbow.
moving on, reading this I took pictures when I found something I really liked, I could look at these then talk about them, but what kind of new media review would that be?
