My name is Jonathan Bender. I'm a journalist working on a book about adult fans of LEGO. I spent the last year learning about the adult fan culture and rediscovering how to build. The book, LEGO: A Love Story, will be published by John Wiley & Sons on May 10, 2010.

These monstrosities are quickly torn apart, and I wonder if I have some unresolved camel issues.”
