Introduction I'm difficult to classify and that's the way I like it. I have no letters after my name, though I studied music theory, voice, conducting, in college. I worked my way into the used-book business via the publishing business after suffering in the restaurant business. I'm a word buff, a name buff, a history buff, a politics buff, and a liberal religion buff. I love making lists and will post plenty of them here. My favorite TV show is Doctor Who, the greatest TV show ever made. Don't even think of asking me which Doctor I like the best: I love 'em all. (Okay, one tiny exception.) Other TV shows I love: Dark Shadows. Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Firefly. Seven Days. Star Trek Voyager. Twin Peaks. Absolutely Fabulous. Fraggle Rock. The Muppet Show. Cop Rock. Current shows I love: The Daily Show. The Colbert Report. The Mercer Report. Monk. Bones. Big Bang Theory. Favorite channel? C-Span!
