Review - Doctor Who: The Witch Hunters

This review is about “Doctor Who: The Witch Hunters”, the second Doctor Who book I have reviewed. This is a BBC publication dealing with a classic Doctor Who story but not corresponding with any of the shows. It deals with the first incarnation of the Doctor and his first companions Susan, Barbara and Ian. This book is out of production and I had a little trouble finding it but finally tracked one down on Amazon. I got it for just about $5 and with shipping came up to just under $10. A little pricey for a paperback book but going to dealers and looking online at some specialty stores I couldn’t find one for under $30 so I was fairly happy to find it.

Review - Jersey Boys

So after 2 long years of an open run the show Jersey Boys was coming to a close. I figured if I wanted to see it now would be the time. Jersey Boys is the story of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons rise to fame. It starts back from the very creation of the group leading all the way up to what is the current state of the four original members of the group.

Tight Workspace?

So is your workspace to tight? They don't allow you to have enough individuality? Pfft!! Get over it. Think you got it bad? You don't have it nearly as bad as these folks!

Quit complaining and get back to work!

Review - Battlestar Galactica: Volume 1

This is my review of the graphic novel Battlestar Galactica: Volume 1. I’ve mentioned before about how much better graphic novels look on a bookshelf than regular comic books and this one maintains my thought about that. However there is one little extra thing to this graphic novel, this is a hardcover book. My copy came with a dust jacket with a photo of the actress Tricia Helfer on the cover. The actual cover of the book has a black gloss finish with the Battlestar Galactica emblem in the middle. Looks good with or without the dust jacket. I got my copy from Cinequest.com earlier this year as an impulse buy.

Review - Kindle Ereader Part II

Ok so I wrote up a post about the Kindle Ereader before but I did not have one. I was very excited about the prospects of getting one so I finally decided to go out and get one. That post was speculation about how it would be going with the product specifications about the Kindle from Amazon’s website. Now that I have one and have had a little time to work with it (and by work with it I mean play with it) I thought it would be a good idea to give a real review about it.

Reading

So I used to like to read alot but over the past........too many years, I found I was reading less books than I ever did. In 2008 I read a grand total of 5 books with about 1100 pages of text. For 2009 I wanted to get back to more like I used to be. At one time I would read 1-2 books a week. Well I don't think I will ever get back to that kind of reading again but I did do considerably better than I have in the past. Here is a list of what I read for 2009.
