		<description><![CDATA[Right, so, bad me. It&#8217;s been over six months since I posted a review. We won&#8217;t even bother counting the latest list entry. Why have I been absent? I can&#8217;t say there&#8217;s one definitive reason. Life got very busy in the fall and I wasn&#8217;t feeling myself, so that&#8217;s why I haven&#8217;t been around lately. <a href='http://www.thewordofgit.com/readingbackwards/2011/01/six-month-absence-urgh/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[First, I want to point out that I&#8217;ve added some categories. Viking Hoards For all your Viking (and SPAM) needs! Book-in-a-Minute One of my favorite features over at Rinkworks, their Book-a-Minutes are the ultimate cheat sheet. Sometimes I quote them, sometimes I do my own little script-style mocking. These can be found under Fun Stuff. <a href='http://www.thewordofgit.com/readingbackwards/2010/05/housekeeping-silly-things/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last year, the Federal Trade Commission released new guidelines concerning &#8220;Testimonial Advertisements, Bloggers, Celebrity Endorsements&#8220;. There was a bit of a kerfuffle in the Blogosphere&#8211;how dare the FTC try to regulate the Internet!? I&#8217;m sure someone will try a legal challenge sooner or later, but until then, I&#8217;d like to keep my ass covered.

		<description><![CDATA[It was a fairly decent year, book-wise. On the one hand, I feel that I should&#8217;ve read more, as I certainly had the time&#8230; On the other, some great choices. I spent time with some excellent authors, read some classics, and dipped into quite a few excellent comics.

		<description><![CDATA[I just powered my way through a ton of books over the past month+&#8230; a lot of them in the last week or so, as a nasty cold has got me down. I am a very bad person, as I did not jump on reviewing them, as I should have.

It&#8217;s from this book store that I got my set of the Chronicles of Narnia. I spent hours browsing their selection of Babysitters Club volumes. <a href='http://www.thewordofgit.com/readingbackwards/2009/08/tintin-au-twenty-first-century/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

And there&#8217;s only one search bar. It only takes me a forever to fix these things.

That means no more books I&#8217;m forced to read for classes. I also finished writing my senior thesis, which was a piece of fiction.
