Bookshelf Battle

Since the dawn of time, man has asked one question:

Why did the series finale of Dexter both suck and blow at the same time?

But if man has asked two questions since the dawn of time, the second one would be:

What is the meaning of life?

What is it?  I don’t know!

This summer, Bookshelf Q. Battler, World Renowned Poindexter, Reviewer of Books, Movies, and Cultural Happenings, Champion Yeti Fighter and Blogger-in-Chief of the Bookshelf Battle Blog goes in search of life’s most illusive question.

And if he has time, he’ll tackle the Dexter inquiry also.
