BOOK REVIEW – Uncommon Type

Wait, nobody is at your door unannounced. Come back and sit down otherwise no one is going to read this. No, no, that’s the sound of an antique typewriter. Particularly it’s the sound of a typewriter featured in one of the short stories in Tom Hank’s Uncommon Type, A Month on Greene Street.

BOOK REVIEW – Dark Night, A True Batman Story

I have this idea about who Batman is. He is a guy swinging in off a rooftop in Gotham, embarking in his bat-mobile and zooming off towards the scene of the latest crime. Once there, our detective hero solves the case, punches the bad guys and helps the police put them behind bars. Then he disappears moving on to wherever he is needed next. We don’t see him go and we don’t see him appear at the next place. He’s always wherever he needs to be. We don’t see the in between.
