In my own words
While I appreciate the compliment of being asked to review books, I would prefer not to receive any solicitations. I always have multiple reading projects underway and really do not have the leisure to take on random books.

Other Favorites

Although I'm a long time and intensely serious film buff, I'm one of those who believes TV can be better than film because of its long-term narrative superiority and ability to provide deeper contextualization. My favorite TV Shows (roughly in chronological order) are: DOBIE GILLIS, THE PRISONER, MONTY PYTHON'S FLYING CIRCUS, FAWLTY TOWERS, TWIN PEAKS, THE X-FILES, BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER, FARSCAPE, ANGEL, ALIAS, FIREFLY, DEAD LIKE ME, WONDERFALLS, 24, SMALLVILLE, THE GILMORE GIRLS, LOST, and VERONICA MARS.

4.0 out of 5 stars A huge improvement over previous several issues, July 5, 2008
