Much of this trenchant commentary applies to other areas of the arts as well. Do you feel up to occasionally reviewing a book you have read John? A lot of our book reviewing is overly polite if not downright lame. You probably feel you have enough aggro on your hands already but should you feel moved...

Hello Amanda, I've got a stack of books awaiting commentary, although most of them look pretty good. You're right about the standard of book reviews in general - they're no better than promos.

Hello John this is the only thing I subscribe to. I have always liked your work. Links to referenced artists work would be helpful if possible.

I'll try and do that Adriana, although I may not be able to do better than a Google search in some cases.
