Link Du Jour: The Glory of the All Caps Book Review

Fair warning: a small amount of salty language ahoy.
Second fair warning: some of these reviews may cause steam to emit from your ears and/or collar area.

It’s almost too bad I’m having a girl & I can’t name her Walter. Unless I want to get into that whole “girls with boys’ names” trend.
