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. (-:
