introduction forward.

This is largely just meant as a repository for my attempt to cooperate with 52 Books in 52 Weeks, which is a collective project for people to read and write about what they're reading. The name "The Kraken Naps" is taken from the book The Kraken Wakes by writer John Wyndham which was about alien invasion from the seas.

I'm trying to finish it now so I can start fresh in 2009 with a fresh book. I was thinking of going in guns blazing with a book I've owned for nearly a year but haven't yet found time to read, that of Tristam Shandy by Laurence Stern.

But I will most likely change my mind a half dozen times in the next two days.
