		<description><![CDATA[Wow.  This volume of The Sandman is so full of awesomeness.  It has got to me my favorite of the series so far.

Alrighty.  So, Morpheus is all bummin&#8217; because he broke up with his girlfriend.  This is a side of him that has been peaked at, but not really fully revealed to us.  That he [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Usually, I&#8217;m all for prequels.  But not when they come in the second installment of a series.  So, the proper order to read the After the Fall books in might actually be the following:

Volume 2 (First Night)
Spike: After the Fall 
Volume 1
Volume 3
Volume 4, etc.
And so, by some twist of fate, that is more or [...]

		<description><![CDATA[I was quite disappointed when I discovered that this book is titled The Financial Lives of the Poets (emphasis mine, obvs) rather than just The Financial Lives of Poets.  So that&#8217;s my first objection.

My second objection is that I found it boring and depressing until about 200 pages in.
And then it was still depressing, but [...]

And that is why this volume is called wolves.  It finally dawns on Mowgli somewhere in Russia to talk [...]

And by the well of lost plots, I mean both the place and the book itself.
So.  Thursday is preggers, and her husband is all eradicated and [...]

What ensues is a psychological twister, [...]

		<description><![CDATA[The Bean Trees was Barbara Kingsolver&#8217;s debut novel, back in the &#8217;80&#8217;s.  One chapter in, and you can already see the foreshadows of the voices she would create over the next few decades.

She has done almost the impossible right off the bat: created characters that are at once endearing and real, flawed but genuinely good. [...]

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 [...]
