...week's reward for actually getting it all done (aside from the last of the Dresden Files paperbacks, Small Favour ) is Richard Morgan's Sword-and-Sorcery fantasy, The Steel Remains . I read this review from famed internet antagonist, i_am_lane . He had me at 'gay sex', frankly. A few chapters in, and it's pretty good. That is all. You may return to your regularly scheduled internets.

The Pope has awoken the Randian beast. i_am_lane  , I expect to see you in that mess with your Sherriff Marx icon. NOW.
