		<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[Mansfield Park.  What can I say?  I liked it far better than I thought I would.  But it made me think about a lot of things, not least of which about Jane Austen herself.

This review will contain spoilers.  Mainly because of the love triangle, and just what I think about that.
Even though I knew the [...]

In fact, as I listened to it, driving around in my car, I found it slow-paced and therefore, if not boring, unengaging (not a word, I know, but sometimes you just gotta pull a [...]

		<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. [...]

		<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 [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Here we have Fables &#38; Reflections the 6th volume of the Sandman series.  This is one of those volumes that doesn&#8217;t have an over-arcing storyline, so Imma break it down for you.

First we have a little prelude, where Morpheus give a fledgling director the courage to try.  I&#8217;m sorta reminded of Arthur Dent learning to fly [...]

Sure, she&#8217;s still stuck in the Literary Detectives, and being hounded by the spec-ops publicity [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Azadeh Moaveni published this book slightly too early.  It came out last year before the riots over the election in Iran.  Thus I assume this sequel to Lipstick Jihad will become the second book in a trilogy.

Actually, it is the 2005 election that pulls Moaveni back to Tehran.  There for two weeks before the election, [...]

Sara and Rachel are half sisters.  Rachel is from their father&#8217;s legal marriage to his first wife, while Sara is a product of his [...]
