I think this is a good site for reading reviews for popular fiction novels. I'm always looking for a way to find a new and interesting book to read.

I think this is a good site for those looking for new books to read. I'm assuming most people in the writing arts major are interested in reading, and I know personally I'm always trying to find new books.

I thought this was interesting article discussing the growing importance of blogs. I am still skeptical about the blogging world, but that could be because (as this article points out) it did not exist a few years ago. I thought it might be a quick and interesting read for others interested in blogging.

  I agree that this is horrifying and cruel, but I'm not sure about the hilarious part. I literally cringed for most of the video and had to turn it off after a minute or two. The look on that poor guy's face! It's amazing to see what kind of videos are posted, and I can't even imagine what it must be like to be the person millions of people have laughed at mercilessly.

It is horrifying. It is cruel. It is hilarious.

  I find this passage interesting since it says the goal of these Sim games are to create a successful community or ecosystem or other similar situation. In my experience, these Sim games are a chance to bend and twist a virtual reality in a way that actual reality cannot. It's all about cheating and manipulating and creating a more entertaining world than the real one we live in. To say that these games have a more noble purpose than that seems ludicrous to me.
