Ursula Le Guin reviews Margaret Atwood's new novel The Year of the Flood. Included in the review is a wonderful discussion of Atwood's claim that her books are not science fiction. See the discussion at io9, to which I owe a tip of the hat.
Nnedi Okorafor provides an interestingly different take on District 9. Found this at SF Signal.
John Scalzi, author of Old Man's War and others, entertains us with his discussion of epic design FAILS in both the Star Wars and Star Trek. Also amusing are the various fan attempts to show Scalzi he is mistaken.
Check out the 9 most questionable Batman toys at Topless Robot. Especially the water pistol.

I'm not sure what I think about the review of D9 you mention, but I'm glad I read it. Very interesting. I'm struck by how much our own personal context and experience shapes how we read.
