Geektastic: Stories from the Nerd Herd by Cecil Castellucci, Holly Black
3.0
True rating is a 3.5.
This was really cute. Truly a geek-tastic collection of stories but since I consider myself quite the geek I really enjoyed them all. Especially the couple that exposed me to geeky stuff I didn't know much about. My favorites were probably The Stars At The Finish Line by Wendy Mass which is about astronomy geeks, and Definitional Chaos by Scott Westerfield which takes a look into the private lives of MMORPG players, and what interesting lives they are. Definitional Chaos also explores the Character Alignment Matrix (Chaotic Good, Lawful Evil, True Neutral, etc.) which intrigues me quite a bit.
But seriously these stories are very geeky and fandom related but well worth a read if you want something fun and quirky.
