This blog will include short, informal reviews & commentary about my current non-professional reading. The initial series of postings are reviews I wrote a few years ago for Warp, the MonSFFA zine. The main genres at work here are science fiction, horror, contemporary fantasy, popular science, mysteries, thrillers and some general fiction and non-fiction. I also read a fair bit of what used to be called slipstream.
I'm the Head of the Steacie Science & Engineering Library, York University, Toronto. Comments and feedback are welcome at jdupuis at yorku dot ca.
This is a paragraph of text that could go in the sidebar.

Darren McGavin, one of my favourite actors, passed away over the weekend on Saturday February 25th, 2006. Among genre fans, he's best remembered for his role as Carl Kolchak in the Night Stalker movies and tv series. Night Stalker was a primary influence on The X-Files and Chris Carter paid hommage to his inspiration by casting McGavin in a couple of episodes.
