Have you noticed things a little lighter here at RA lately?  You’re not imaging it.  Bob is currently spending some quality time with the family before his very existence slips the minds of his daughters, while I have been assigned to a number of, um, maintenance issues, such as figuring out whether I can fix our blog comments by myself or recruit some competent coding muscle.  In the meantime, Bob and I promised to swap duties on some book reviews to fill the blog over the next week.

Blessed with this rare opportunity to stray away from my bailiwick, I made a meal out of it, posting here what is probably this blog’s first review of a work of fiction:  Ground Up by Michael Idov.
