If I had a wall large enough for this (and didn’t have the wall covered with dry-erase board), this graphical representation of the internet-as-subway would certainly be an excellent contender for posting.

Let The Right One In
Let The Right One In by John Ajvide Lindqvist It’s been a long while since I’ve read anything this wonderful, engrossing, or disturbing. It’s been years since I’ve read anything this good.
