“Wuthering Heights” by Emily Bronte is a very unusual story, especially when you consider when this novel was written. It’s a love story, but both the hero and the heroine are of the kind you hate (at least I did). Catherine Earnshaw is a selfish brat; Heathcliff is a …

If there was one complaint that I had about DC Comics’ “Final Crisis” event last year, it was the delays. Just about every book had a serious delay in the printing that led to the story coming out months late; mostly, from what I understand, the delay was …

“The Battle” is the third book of “The Adventures of Jecosan Tarres” trilogy. It would be futile to try to re-tell you the plot; besides, I don’t think it would be fair. The story has so many unpredictable turns, just when you think you know things will go a …

I’m an English major and part-time Grammar Nazi, but I can’t possibly know everything about grammar. The English language is, to be blunt, terrifyingly messed up. More than half of our words come from Latin, but the rest are a hodgepodge assortment of bits and phrases from the rest …
