bruce s's Blurb
About Me:
I am an unabashed snob with a truckload of guilty pleasures. You'd be just as likely to find me reading Barthes, drinking Laphroaig, and listening to Eno on the porch in a lightning storm as reading the newest Terry Pratchett, drinking a PBR and nodding along to Guns n' Roses in the bathtub. I also like to write. I'm a deconstructionist at heart, and I can be wordy. If anything I ever write seems confusing, confused, or just plain wrong, send me a note. I'd be happy to explain myself.
Who I'd Like To Meet:
You... preferably at a local bar, over a couple of pints.

This is the most challenging thing about reviewing, you just gotta say exactly what you think when listening to it. Be honest and mention you have no idea about the genre but the explain some of the elements you enjoy and hate.
Hope that helps man!
Thanks
