Boarding the Enterprise
Calling all Star Trek fans and absolutely no one else!! This book is not for the light of Trekkie heart. Tim Wardyn got suckered into reading these essays and finds out that, for the most part, those who write about Star Trek are just a bunch of a-holes.

Dog War
Rhona Scoville has a new favorite author, and this quirky and funny tale about life after a significant other's death by Jamaican writer Anthony Winkler really hit the spot.

Hallo Spaceboy: The Rebirth of David Bowie
Tom "Tearaway Stardust" Schulte enjoys Dave Thompson’s second volume of an enlightening and detailed look at the life and career of ьber-artist David Bowie. Even more surprising is that his hands aren't covered with glitter after putting the book down.
