Interests:
I suppose you can decide if you can trust my reviews if you trust my likes and dislikes.
So here goes: Favorite books: Dangerous Visions edited by Harlan Ellison, Deathbird
Stories by Harlan Ellison, Breakfast of Champions, Cat's Cradle, Welcome to the Monkey
House and Mother Night by Kurt Vonnegut, Burning Chrome collection by William Gibson,
Axiomatic collection by Greg Egan, Thomas Pynchon's V, Henry Miller's Tropic of Capricorn,
Tropic of Cancer and Black Spring, and the Air Conditioned Nightmare if you can find it,
Chip Delaney's Triton, Frank Miller's The Dark Knight, Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash and
his short story "Hack the Spew" which I believe is uncollected, George Orwell's
1984, Animal Farm and his collected political writings, Eric Drexler's Engines of
Creations, and others I don't have the space to list. Favorite Bands: The original quintet
version of the Mahavishnu Orchestra, quartet version of Return to Forever with Al Dimeola
on guitar, Weather Report with Jaco Pastorius, and other players of the now discredited
fusion movement such as Allan Holdsworth and Brand X and I have a soft wet spot for Bjork
and acid jazz artists like Portishead and Spaceways. Also addicted to Steely Dan. Favorite
Films: Just a few obvious ones, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Annie Hall, Bladerunner,
and recently the Matrix and not so obviously The Lathe of Heaven, the adaptation of the
Ursula Le Guin novel.
About pshropshire:
I have worked as a reporter, media watch columnist, ran a consumer group for three years
and been an occasional pro se attorney. I've sold everything from vacuum cleaners to
satelite dishes to computers. I am a huge fan (literally, I'm 6' 5") of comics and
science fiction and am a Pop Culture addict in general. I am also an English Major. There.
Are you happy now?
