greeniezona 's review for:
Xkcd: Volume 0
by Randall Munroe
This book was on the staff recommends table at the library, and it made me smile, so I checked it out. I know, as I am admonished in the foreword by the author, that I can get all this on the internet for free (well, so's the library, but let's leave that aside for a moment), but I am one of those individuals who still finds words on paper much more enjoyable than words on a screen. I've never followed xkcd regularly, but I usually enjoy them when someone points me to one in particular. I've made a few attempts to "catch up," but never to the point where I've bookmarked my progress, and then I can't remember where I left off...
Which is a long way of saying that I really enjoyed reading this in book, rather than digital form.
If you don't know if xkcd is for you, you can find it on the internet. (But if you haven't found it by now, it's probably not.) Now that I've read it at length, I can say that I do generally appreciate it, at times find it hilarious, and a disturbing amount of the time find it whooshing right over my head. It seems that I am not quite geeky or nerdy enough to enjoy all of xkcd. (But definitely dorky enough.) It is, I suppose, somehow reassuring to be reminded that there are subcultures out there far geekier and nerdier than me. But still generally respectful of women. (As much as I disdain Twilight, I absolutely love xkcd's imagining of Stephenie Meyer outsmarting Anonymous.)
