I am working a review for tomorrow, but in the meantime read this excellent Dan Green post that discusses the influence of film on novels and its connection to realism past and present. Here is a teaser: In a previous post, I observed that what seemed most notable about the rush to adapt certain “chick [...]
I’ve been writing a lot about sports lately. If you are coming here for the politics I promise to have some post on that soon. Tonight let’s take a look at the NFL. Specifically, who is the best team in the league? I know what you are thinking. Since I am a Steelers fan I [...]
As a lark I have started a blog aimed at getting Jonah Goldberg hired as a New York Times Columnist. I thought it might be fun to see if creating a blog in this way might create enough buzz to make an impact. I see it as a sort of media experiment. If you would [...]

I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving today. Hopefully it will be filled with family, friends, food, and football (if you like that sort of thing). If not, may you find a good book and a comfortable chair (and maybe a drink).
I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving today enjoying family, food, football, friends, or whatever you may be doing.
