Hi, reader. I wrote this in 2002 and it's now more than five years old. So it may be very out of date; the world, and I, have changed a lot since I wrote it! I'm keeping this up for historical archive purposes, but the me of today may 100% disagree with what I said then. I rarely edit posts after publishing them, but if I do, I usually leave a note in italics to mark the edit and the reason. If this post is particularly offensive or breaches someone's privacy, please contact me.

I finished Douglas Coupland's Microserfs. Anirvan and other friends had raised my expectations of this book, and Coupland matched them. A very good book. It made me tear up and several times it made me look around for someone to hug. Read it!

Now, I really should catch up on my Russia After Communism reading, but I borrowed Jon Stewart's book of essays, Naked Pictures of Famous People, from Seth, so Democracy From Scratch: Opposition and Regime in the New Russian Revolution may have to wait.
