Don't listen to Joseph, everybody - you should go to Yard Sale of the Mind and read for yourself.<br /><br />Seriously, it's fantastic. One of the more contemplative blogs out there, and I often have to read his posts in small bites in order to digest everything they contain. It's like a less pompous version of John C. Wright's Blog.

As other reviewers with broader experience (when I was a sophomore in college, the punk freshmen were playing some new-fangled game they called 'D&D' which was clearly beneath my 19-year-old dignity...) say: its sources, aside from Dante, are RPGs, video games and other non-sci-fi-lit stuff - which threw me for a bit of a loop, as all those things are outside my experience. AND - it fits no existing category (Sci-Fi fantasy horror mythology gamer something something?). But my mind was pretty blown by the end.
