The Flash Versus Arrow
I found myself pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed Arrow when it first arrived on the CW a few years ago. Don’t misunderstand – I love the character Green Arrow, but I wasn’t much of a CW guy. (I thought I was too old for the station.) The show didn’t strike me as perfect,…

The Humans – A Book Review
A friend recommended I give The Humans a read, so I thought I’d give it a try. Written by Matt Haig, The Humans is about a mathematician who is killed and replicated by an alien.

The Truth Is a Cave In the Black Mountains by Neil Gaiman and Eddie Campbell – A Book Review
Written by the renowned Neil Gaiman, this small picture book is unlike anything I’ve ever read. Perhaps picture book is too simple a phrase, for that conjures up something meant for a child, which this book clearly is not. At seventy-three pages, I read this tale in less than an hour. Every page is comprised…
