This book is pure indulgence for the bookish geek. It is so geekishly indulgent it feels almost naughty. _Geektastic_ is an entire book of short stories devoted to the celebration of geeks, geek culture and the lives of geeks, and they don't discriminate against any geek types. _Geektastic_ opens with a laugh-out-loud story that includes an all-out brawl between Trekkers/Trekkies and whatever you Star Wars nuts call yourselves (I suspect it's "cool" - that only proves you're not, you scruffy-looking nerf-herders) at a fan con. But there are stories to warm the hearts of lit geeks, analogue and digital gaming geeks, computer geeks, math geeks, theatre tech geeks, and anyone else who's ever been relegated to the wrong side of the cafeteria for thinking too hard. Most of the stories would probably be catalogued as YA, and tend to feature teen geeks. This makes sense to anyone who has been a geek - all our seriously tortured, narratively interesting years were in high school. Because of this, some of the stories are a little vengeful rather than celebratory in tone. Still, the book as a whole is lots of fun, and is well worth picking up if you're looking for a quick, light read with lots of humour.
