Castle is easily one of my favorite shows on TV right now, thanks in large part to Nathan Fillion. As the title character, he brings so much glee to crime fighting (comparable to Po in Kung Fu Panda at times) that it is not hard to love the man. Not only that, but he brings […]
Read more "Book Review: Heat Wave"It is beyond me why people with annoying voices decide that it is their calling to narrate audio books. Enter Amanda Ronconi, narrator of Molly Harper’s book.

I was hoping from the same from Craig Ferguson, but was utterly disappointed. I probably […]
Read more "Audio Book Review: American on Purpose by Craig Ferguson (Read by Craig Ferguson)"Cold Comfort Farm, by Stella Gibbons, is a hilariously witty, tongue-in-cheek parody of the melodramatic novels published before and around the 1930’s which featured rural life at its finest: laden with the ever-present promise of impending doom and imminent despair (usually featuring a heroine prone to hysteria and fainting spells).

I didn’t know that she also coproduces the show, and additionally has written some of its most hilarious episodes (anyone remember the episode where Michael accidentally grills his foot […]
