    Top Amazon Reviewer

    For the past ten years, I have been reviewing books and music on amazon.com. Over time, I became one of amazon's "top reviewers" attaining my highest rank of 116 in (early) 2011. I have amassed over 700 reviews. I am a member of the "amazon vine program" where "helpful reviewers" are asked to review advance copies of books in return for reviews. I am also regularly contacted by publishers and authors requesting reviews for their books. 

    Reviewing books and music for amazon.com has become a hobby of mine and seldom do I read a book without reviewing it (it is a bit rarer with music). Reviewing allows me to share my thoughts with others and forces me to think more deeply about what I read and hear. As my reading tastes are quite diverse (ranging from philosophy and economics to mystery and true crime), reviewing also keeps me writing about literature in a way free from the constraints of academic book reviewing. 

    Here are a few of my more helpful (by reader votes) book reviews over the years:

    The Righteous Mind: Why Good People are Divided by Politics and Religion     (by Jonathan Haidt)

    DIYU: Edupunks, Edupreneurs and the Coming Transformation of Higher Education (by Anya Kamenetz)
