Geek Love is an awesome read thus far, disturbing at times, but that's good..

I joined up on flickr a couple weeks ago when I started taking more pics with the new camera, but I just now figured out how to join a group and post notes.
Hey, I met Kay Dunn before Geek Love was published (it was a dinner arranged by my college advisor, since Kay was an alum and I was an aspiring writer) and she told me the plot of it, and I was just like, that sounds so dumb. At least, that's what I thought, in my pathetic undergraduate brain.

Her earlier books are interesting, too. Attic and Truck, I think. They were first published without any punctuation -- but the subsequent editions changed that.
