One of the great things about having a blog is sharing the good and amusing things one runs across. At the moment, the blog wife and I are reading 'The Magicians' by Lev Grossman, a novel referencing Narnia and Harry Potter, but written for a more adult audience about students who get into a bespoke university for magic. The hero (and all the characters) are bright-tending-brilliant students who have a magic sensibility. Naturally people are somewhat flawed and stressed - the hero gets his head punched by Penny, a punk magician who felt threatened by the hero's easy progress. One character notes that he had been stewing a long time, with a lot of repressed rage. "He was either going to hit somebody or start a blog."
Hey, wait a minute...
