		<description><![CDATA[I just finished reading The Grid: A Journey Through the Heart of Our Electrified World. It is an odd book.  I am picky about writing style, and at first the somewhat flippant voice of the author annoyed me.  But after a while I got used to it.  Then at one point, I wondered, who is [...]]]></description>
