For lack of a better term, I've called this section "Reviews", but really, this is just the same random ramblings you're liable to run across elsewhere on this site, except these are the ramblings dealing with stuff I've read or watched. If you're looking for actual recommendations here, I wouldn't count on this section... my taste isn't discriminating enough to be of any value. Mostly, these will be accounts of what happened--- both inside and outside my head--- when I saw a movie or read a book.
As you've no doubt gathered, I love stories... fiction or non-fiction, and not limited to a particular genre. Consequently, and to my wife's consternation, my home is jammed with books, comic books, and DVDs, and I've constantly got a stack of recorded TV shows waiting to be watched... when real life doesn't intrude.
I'll list the items to the right, from the most recent to the oldest.
