Geektastic; stories from the nerd herd, edited by Holly black and Cecil Castellucci


A collection of short stories from some impressive authors - Holly Black (Tithe), Cassandra Clare (City of Bones), John Green (Looking of Alaska), David Levithan (Nick & Norah's infinite playlist), Garth Nix (Abhorsen), Scott Westerfeld (Uglies, Peeps) - and there are more.
All the stories relate to geeks defined as 1.a person often of an intellectual bent who is disliked 2. a person who is so passionate about a given subject as to occasionally cause annoyance among others.
The result is as varied as the authors included - a mix of humor, romance, and sharp insights that are easy to enjoy.
