I previously went the full nine innings reviewing Bull Durham. It should be not surprise that I’d go another nine innings with The Church of Baseball written by Bull Durham writer and director Ron Shelton about the origin of, writing of, production, release, and reaction to Bull Durham.

Star Trek: Nemesis is a return to the original series when the Romulans were much more of a threat and plot device for the franchise. It’s similar to the previous film Insurrection in that it feels more like a two-part episode from the television series than a film and of, course, it’s got plenty of connective tissues to the Star Trek Universe…

Collision of Power: Trump, Bezos, and the Washington Post is not my usual reading. It’s extremely contemporary and is perhaps the most recently published piece of non-fiction I’ve ever read.

Never judge a book by its cover. This may be true, but for honesty’s sake, I must say that the reason I chose to pick up Magic of the Plains: By the Sword Volume 1 by Greg Costikayan was exactly because of its cover. Particularly, I got it for its back cover which states “BY THE SWORD MAGIC OF THE PLAINS As seen on Prodigy®.” For those of you my age, this will have a certain mystique.
