UD is...
"Salty." (Scott McLemee)
"Unvarnished." (Phi Beta Cons)
"Splendidly splenetic." (Culture Industry)
"Except for University Diaries, most academic blogs are tedious."
(Rate Your Students)
"I think of Soltan as the Maureen Dowd of the blogosphere,
except that Maureen Dowd is kind of a wrecking ball of a writer,
and Soltan isn't. For the life of me, I can't figure out her

UPDATE ON THE CRYING OF LOT 49 AND THE GWU LIBRARY

One of UD's readers who is a George Washington University student pointed out in a comment a few weeks ago that GW's library doesn't own a copy of Thomas Pynchon's great postmodern novel, The Crying of Lot 49.

UD just wanted to mention that she's relayed the problem to the English department's library representative, who has sent a formal request for the novel to the subject specialist at the library.
