Earlier today I finished Ariel's first book, Offbeat Bride (have YOU bought your autographed copy yet?), and sometime over the next couple of days I'll write a review of it for Amazon. I haven't written an Amazon review in a while, and it's always a nice challenge for me because I always limit my reviews to 300 words or less. For a long-winded academic like myself, that's always difficult.
Needless to say I'll give Ariel's book a full five stars, not just because I admire her and her work but because it's a damn fine book. One thing I have to remark on here, though, is that for some reason, even though the book was quite engrossing, I couldn't read it for more than a few minutes at a time. I'm thinking that this may actually be one of those weird subconscious things where I only read it for that long because I'm so used to only reading Ariel that long, what with the way blogs work and all. This kind of leads me to wonder if blogging might actually be leading further to the shortening of the average American's attention span, to the point where we can only read in short bursts, just like with television shows.
