DVD Review: A Charlie Brown Christmas (1965)

I realize that I am writing this several weeks after Christmas, and this is a Christmas DVD, but this is the first year that I missed watching A Charlie Brown Christmas on television, so I rented the DVD. Ever since I was a little boy, this has been my favorite Christmas special, and one that I...

Book Review: The Middle of the Night - Daniel Stolar

I have never been a huge fan of short stories. I prefer the novel length format so I can spend more time with the characters that I have come to know and short stories tend to cut me off just when I want to learn more about a character or a situation. But, this collection came highly recommended...

Book Review: The Time Traveler's Wife - Audrey Niffenegger

If I said that "The Time Traveler's Wife" was a non-conventional love story with time travel, that description would not come close to accurately describing this novel. It is a non-conventional love story with time travel at its heart, but the novel is so much more than that, and it is also...
