It could be worse

I just finished reading Zoe's Tale. As I was sitting in two airports plus a short plane ride in between reading, and sniffling, and wiping my eyes to the point that a passer-by asked me if I was okay and I lied something stupid about an allergy, I took small comfort in knowing that no matter how girly my crying was, Scalzi is even more of a girl for having written it in the first place.

Anyway ... go get it and read for yourself. Most excellent.
