Welcome to my blog.  Though I don’t know what brought you here, maybe you are a fan of literature, or you love reading about other people’s opinions on movies, or you’re just really bad at searching for internet porn, either way I will do my best to make your stay enjoyable.

I’ll be writing a lot about books, reviewing them mostly, because I feel I’ve got a decent amount to say about them.  I’m a bookseller and a struggling writer, so clearly I’m full of rage and jealousy at anybody more successful than myself.  Which is pretty much everybody.  But mostly, I truly do love to read books and I hope you find my thoughts on them worth your while, even if you disagree with me.  I’ll be reviewing mostly fiction, mainly of the literary variety but my no means exclusively, and I’ll also be sneaking in some of my own stuff now and again just to make me feel like I’m doing something productive with my life.

I’ll also be reviewing movies here.  I tend to be a harsh critic, but I can’t stand people who assume that just because a movie is “mainstream Hollywood” it must be artistically bankrupt.  There will be reviews of Indy flicks as well as the big studio pictures.  Hell, I might even throw in a couple Jennifer Aniston Rom-Com’s just because it’s my blog, and I can.

Now here’s something I feel is important.  I won’t only be writing about new releases.  Whatever I happen to be reading or watching at the time, I will write about.  A lot of this will be new releases because that’s the nature of the beast, but I will not limit myself to it.  I might pop in a review of Taxi Driver at some point if the mood strikes me.  It’s also worth pointing out that because I am a bookseller, sometimes I’ll get an advanced copy of a book and have a chance to read it before it comes out.  When this happens, I will include a release date in the title of the post so it’s clear that you can’t run out to your local independent bookstore (see what I did there?) and purchase it.

Finally, there will be some musings on this site too.  I’ll share ideas, opinions, neuroticisms, and soul crippling fears from time to time.  Oh, and there will be some sports related material too.  Though not often.

So that’s the introduction to my blog.  Hopefully you’ll come back.  Though who am I kidding.  Nobody’s reading this particular post.  Except my girlfriend, who is awesome.
