There's also an interesting question of how we're going to publish our reviews. I'm thinking that once we have, say, two real reviews written, it'll be a good time to set up a "Books" section on the web site. Marsee also suggested posting reviews to Amazon. That's probably the place where they'll get seen by the most people, but it doesn't do anything for EUGLUG. As for what scale to use, it was suggested that we use distinctive icons and award books zero to N icons. If we want to do that, I suggest ducks as icons. The duck is strongly associated with Eugene and the U of O, and it looks vaguely like a penguin.
