I read this a while ago, in one sitting the day after coming back from Alpha/Confluence, but didn't feel up to posting about it until now. This is going to be short compared to many other reviews, because at heart I'm a casual reader. I tried reading critically; it didn't work out. So the complaints will be superficial. Massive spoilers, obviously.

( SPOILERS )

Nothing more to say, but here's a pile of links.

International Blog Against Racism Week: August 6-12, 2007

If you would like to participate, here's what to do:

1. Announce the week in your blog.



2. Switch your default icon to either an official IBAR week icon, or one which you feel is appropriate. To get an official IBAR week icon, you may modify one of yours yourself or ask someone to do so. Here's a round up of IBARW icons.



3. Post about race and/or racism: in media, in life, in the news, personal experiences, writing characters of a race that isn't yours, portrayals of race in fiction, review a book on the subject, etc. (Linking back here is highly appreciated!)

This is the second year of IBARW, founded by the lovely oyceter and hosted at ibarw. Oyce also has an excellent list terms, definitions, and disclaimers, which I am stealing. Because I'm not dedicated enough to write my own list.

I am thinking about making a custom icon personally, but for now this will have to do. Also, my posts will not be prolific and will likely come later in the week, after my frenzied writing of essays and research paper.
