All Consuming: a wonderful literary navigation of blogspace. Earlier this month Jon Udell praised the site All Consuming--"an aggregation website that will let you know what the weblog community is reading"--saying, "Beautifully done! Now you can vector through blogspace using books, as well as people, as the organizing metaphor. What a simple and beautiful idea!" (Jon goes on to cite some books in the flow of his blog "to see what kind of discussion is reflected back through All Consuming.")
Yes. I'm only a few minutes into exploring, and I already see this qualifies as amazing! For starters, here's its rendition of books I mention in this blog. The interrelatedness of people, books, and interests expands outward from there.
My favorite bookseller is Books-a-Million, in large part because of their attractive pricing as seen via price lookup service Pricefarmer.com. With this newfound immersion in what others I respect are reading, I guess BAMM is ensured even more business from me from now on . . . )

"Absolute power . . .". Why are so many of us blind to this happening in front of our eyes? Why are we unrepentant like ancient Israel to whom the prophets pleaded in vain?--
A country whose leader has the power to imprison any citizen whatsoever, on his order alone, and hold them indefinitely, in military custody, without access to the courts, without a lawyer, without any charges, their fate determined solely by the leader's arbitrary whim--that country is a tyranny, not a democracy, not a republic, not a union of free citizens.

I like Will's apocalyptic commentary here and here, and much as I want to, I can't think what else to add at the moment.
