Great and heady stuff, but not for the meek.
There is a lot of dense writing here on the topic of the constructed meanings of intercourse. If you like having your mind blown by a book that makes you work a little to keep up, then this is your kind of book. Dworkin is very passionate and it shows in her writing, giving it energy. This is, FYI, an analysis of literature and history first and foremost. It's not a direct address of contemporary affairs, per-se. It deals with how sex, as an idea, got to where it is now, which Dworkin finds nightmarish. The book is not lighthearted or destined to make you feel good, but you'll be glad you read it. It's a good example of literary theory, some of the best I've seen in my admittedly limited experience. Take note: she distorts the story of Joan of Arc in subtle ways in the chapter "Virginity." However, the distortions are immaterial to her point.

Hell yes! Get your ork on!
First of all, I have a tendency to turtle. I usually find myself worrying about resources. In this game, you gain resources by controlling choke points, which forces you to advance an expeditionary force. The game is therefore something of a hybrid with multiplayer "checkpoint control"-style games usually seen in an FPS. I also love how units are handled. You don't create a marine, but a marine-squad. The squad can be reinforced to include more soldiers and they can be given heavier weapons, all on the fly. This allows you to build your force faster and select them more easily, since everyone is in a unit-squad. If you care a lot about presentation, you won't be disappointed. You can zoom in or out of the battle, and you can watch the individual soldiers fight each other. It's very physical and very graphic, and very cool. An Ork Warboss, for instance, has to shake the corpse of say, an Eldar Farseer, off of his claw after impaling it for the kill. There are a variety of races to use and a variety of weapons and types of units. The Orks are good for swarming and pumping out tons of units in very-large squads. The Eldar are somewhat weak, but use invisibility, mobility, and spells to great effect. The Necrons are super-slow, but super powerful. There are seven races to choose from, thus too many to talk about. If you like real time strategy, you'll love this. It's like candy. If you like RTS games but always wanted more fighting and more unit versatility, the guys who made this were thinking the same thing. There is base building, don't get me wrong, but it's very clearly a means to an end. The end, of course, is either a massive, race-specific mega-vehicle to clobber your enemies or squads of other super-units stuck late in the tech tree to keep them from being incredibly broken. If you're a fan of the Warhammer 40K universe, I have to guess you'll like this too. If you're a purist for table top rules there are several mods in development and a few already released that deal with some discrepancies.

A cool, though different Iron Man.
It's definitely not a traditional superhero story, but more closely resembles a crime-techno thriller, which I love. Ellis puts Iron Man in the real world with a techno-thriller plot that Iron Man can fit into. The art by Adi Granov is amazing and deserves mention. This may be the best looking comic book I've ever seen. The quality of art and editing gives the impression of watching a movie. It should be noted that this is not a continuation of Iron Man, but more of a reboot/revision. That makes it good for newcomers, but it also departs from much of the preexisting continuity.
