how am i supposed to choose between little brother, anathem, and the graveyard book? not that i can vote, but still. http:\/\/is.gd\/o7bQ<\/a> #<\/a><\/li>\n
but if i had to pick, i’d pick little brother, by @doctorow, for best novel based on its treatment of ideas, freedom, and government. #hugo<\/a> #<\/a><\/li>\n
also it’s brilliantly written, a ton of fun, and super fast. the other two were excellent in their own way (& i haven’t read zoe’s tale yet) #<\/a><\/li>\n
read “little brother” for free, on @doctorow’s site: http:\/\/tinyurl.com\/55a6qs<\/a> (great book.) #<\/a><\/li>\n

#newmusic<\/a> Gui Boratto, Take My Breath Away. Good background music; melodic, fairly varied techno. Best: “Eggplant” (thanks, @jephjacques) #<\/a><\/li>\n
