| An interesting piece of experimental theater, essentially a series of short dialogues (with the occasional monologue or trialogue thrown in) on the twinned themes of, yes, love and information. There are no named characters, and indeed, the staging n ...more | |

| This beautiful little book does exactly what it says in the title. Lane says in the introduction that this isn't a dispassionate description, but rather a celebration of what he loves about the Devon region. The geography, history, and lifestyle of t ...more | |

"The quality of this book is a bit uneven. The sections on the women comic strip artists of the first half of the 20th century and the women working in comic books in the golden age of comics were very good. I learned a lot about some really talented "

| Let me preface this review by saying that I'm not a Kim Kardashian hater. I think she has talents, even if those talents cluster around being a savvy businesswoman, and I think she's smarter than she sometimes appears to be on the surface. So no, thi ...more | |
