Guy Savage
Guy Savage: “The internet is a world without borders, and as such it offers readers the perfect opportunity to expand reading horizons. Both the methods we use to select books and the manner in which we can connect with fellow readers have radically changed. In many ways, thanks to corporate culture, the choices in our lives have become homogenized–but the internet allows the opposite approach and allows access to highly specialized markets and tastes. Readers can only benefit from the expanded horizons the internet offers.” Guy Savage is also an occasional contributor to www.noiroftheweek.blogspot.com
Guy also blogs on the site  Phoenix Cinema for those interested in foreign film, film noir, and also films based on books  and His Futile Preoccupations, a blog on great books, especially the classics.
