Too Many Books In The Kitchen

The internet, as filtered by me, Michael Hingston, a 26-year-old writer and editor who enjoys podcasts, strange sodas, the Wu-Tang Clan, and Moby-Dick.

My book reviews appear regularly in newspapers and magazines across Canada, including the National Post, The Edmonton Journal, The Georgia Straight, and Alberta Views. Check each piece for details.

Email me, if you like, at hingston [at] gmail [dot] com. I'm available for hire and I like free books.

OTHER PIECES

"Comic Sans" (The Incongruous Quarterly)
"'No Fear' T-Shirts Based on Board Games" (McSweeney's)

"Jay-Z Builds His Dream Home"
"The Men in the Mirror"
"Moby-Dick; or, My Favourite Book"
"The Pop-Culture Annotated 'Lord's Prayer'"
"Tumblr Recommends"

Spreadsheets, on the other hand, are totally cool.

(PS: Try Chatoe Rogue’s pumpkin patch ale. It is microbrewed in Oregon, and it is basically dessert.)
