		<description><![CDATA[I was a bit skeptical about this, as I have a certain disapproval about fiction about real people, living or dead.  But I must say I found this one delightful!  With an exclamation point!

Part of why I felt O.K. about this book, which is based on Queen Elizabeth II, is because I could almost imagined [...]

The first really good story I ever wrote (and oh how I wish I had a link for you to whatever lit journal deigned to accept it!!!) was about [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Oh books that have no real ending, why do you exist?  Is it just to taunt and frustrate me?  Did you, Saul Bellow, predict that I would read this, writing it as you did 30 years before my birth, and leave a stupid, jaded ending to what otherwise might have been just an O.K. novella?

Is [...]

		<description><![CDATA[I finished this one a week or two ago, but I had to let my brain digest it for a while.

For the first three quarters of the book, I pretty much hated it.  It was slow, so slow it was draining just to read it.  
And it was written in weird post-modern prose.  The kind [...]

It ends with our [...]

		<description><![CDATA[The Country of the Pointed Firs, written in the 1890&#8217;s, captures the customs and dialects that were dying out in Maine at the time.  Sarah Orne Jewett tried to preserve as much as she could in her fiction before it was forgotten.

She did a pretty good job of really bring the characters and their surroundings [...]

		<description><![CDATA[This is one of those books where nobody will ever know if it&#8217;s really a ghost story or if the narrator is nuts.  Certainly, there seem to be two strictly divided camps in the world of literary criticism.

On the one hand, say the paranormalists (I think I just made that word up), Henry James never [...]

Or, you know, Mr. Linky.  Whatever.
