Novellas: movies you can read. That's essentially the pitch. Novellas are books usually in the 20-40k word count range. DEUS EX MAGICKA is 192 pages long in paperback, and GODS IN THE MACHINE is an even slimmer 170. These are books that take 2-4 hours to read...

It's arbitrary list time, folks! Being a consummate nerd, I keep a spreadsheet of every professional musical production I've seen. I'm up to 67 unique shows at this point, and I was curious how I would rank them. I don't feel it's really fair to rank a show unless...
