Want to help me write a book?

The list of proposals for the next books in the 33 1/3 series has been posted at the blog.

My proposal was for Archers of Loaf's Vee Vee, so if you're a fan of the album (and/or Recorda-Me) and would buy a book about it, you could let them know by leaving a comment.

Here is my original review of the album.
