The Web Haunt of Ryan K Lindsay

If the eye is the window to the soul then the top ten list truly is the window to the psyche. I have written this before, but I wanted to put this on the sideboard and have it be more accesible. I will list here my top ten lists for movie, teev show, book, comic and song. The lists mould over time and are subject to change, they have changed since I first posted them over a year ago, but this is current and up to date as of April 2009.
