Booklog 20: Romance Is My Day Job
Romance Is My Day Job
by Patience BloomA number of years ago, there was a particular book that was at the forefront of the chicklit craze. It was a simple story, actually, about the dates, sundry and various, that a young woman went on before she found Mr. Right. I heard lots of raves about it. I finally read it. I was not impressed. In retrospect ( Read more... ) -

I’ve worked with people who apparently take way too many cues for their lives from useless hotel heiresses and came into work with their little yappy dogs either firmly attached to their arms or tucked into their purses. I ( Read more... ) -

THE COMIC BOOK HISTORY OF COMICS
by Fred Van Lente & Ryan DunlaveyIn retrospect it made perfect sense, to have a history of comic books in comic book form. But it took this long to have one. But then, the history of comic books isn’t that long, either (if we rightfully reckon its origins back in the 1930s). In any case, when it first came out I was ( Read more... ) -
