		<description><![CDATA[If I have anything to complain about this book, it&#8217;s that it&#8217;s too short.  We&#8217;re transported into the world of  Marjane Satrapi&#8217;s family for an afternoon, but left wanting more.

Short though it is, it does manage to pack several stories in, from disparate female voices in Satrapi&#8217;s family.  Each woman takes a turn, usually telling [...]

Perkins-Valdez researched the real retreat where it was common for Southern gentlemen to bring their slave-mistresses.  Of course, being in a free state has a certain [...]

		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t often talk explicitly about the art when reviewing graphic novels.  To me, the art is usually secondary to the story (and the writing thereof).  But the art in David B.&#8217;s Epileptic blew my mind.

Imagine pages and pages of surreal doodles put together into a narrative.  And what&#8217;s more, it&#8217;s all true.
David B. starts [...]

Then, they take the Buddhist principle of Mindfulness, about which Thich Nhat Hanh has written [...]

The story (of the book, I&#8217;ll get to me in a minute) is that Krista Vernoff, produce of Grey&#8217;s Anatomy, needed to lose weight, so she turned to her marathon-running, fitness-junkie friend, who designed [...]

Problem #1: The title and subtitle.  If you can&#8217;t see from the picture, it reads, &#8220;How Timothy Leary, Ram Dass, Huston Smith, and Andrew Weil Killed the Fifties and Ushered in a New Age for America.&#8221;  For the most part, this book [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Of course, with the drive towards ereaders, the portability of a book might not be of consequence, but it&#8217;s fun to carry around a book of Jung&#8217;s writing like he&#8217;s your own personal guru.  Somebody tells you about an encounter or a dream or a movie, and you can say, hang on, let me consult [...]

Wrong. 
The whole book read like an undergrad sociology paper proving [...]
