If it's true that opinions are like assholes, and that the internet is full of both, then please tell us why aren't we a natural part of that? Which is exactly what we asked ourselves, and which is why, beginning today with Robert Birnbaum's first installment of book notices, we'll be regularly publishing reviews on brand-spanking-new books, movies, music, TV shows, etc. Reviews will be published every Tuesday and Thursday, and can be found right on the home page, upper left, we swear you can't miss it. Update: As for our recommendations column, "Of Recent Note," its retirement was short: Now a monthly feature, the February update is right here.
