		<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 [...]

		<description><![CDATA[This is&#8230;an unhappy book with an unhappy ending, full of laugh out loud moments.  Oh how fun it is to see ourselves in others&#8217; ennui, however over-the-top it may be.

It&#8217;s funny, because some of the blurbs on the back include Vogue&#8217;s &#8220;No one has their eye&#8211;or ear&#8211;focused on youth as acutely as Daniel Clowes&#8221; and [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Either David Schmahmann is a master of subtle characterization, or he&#8217;s kind of a jerk, and this just seeped out into his characters naturally.

Let me back up.  Nibble and Kuhn is a book about a lawyer who is up for partner at his law firm.  Meanwhile, he&#8217;s having an affair with a junior associate (who is [...]

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m a bit behind in reviews&#8230;for instance, I read this one some time last month.  Part of this is procrastination on my part.  But part of this is also that I wanted to let it digest in my brain.

I mean, so much has been said about P&#38;P, what could I really have to add to [...]

		<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 [...]

It ends with our [...]

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s possible that Jane Austen&#8217;s wit is at its height in Northanger Abbey.  Those biting little sentences that describe characters, and their quips to one another ring throughout the walls of bath and the great house Northanger Abbey.  

Unfortunately, because I listened to an audio version of this, I don&#8217;t have the book to quote [...]

		<description><![CDATA[This is going to be one of those posts where I mostly just quote from the book.  James Finn Garner, takes classic fairy tales, and makes them satirically politically correct.  While occasionally that can be offensive (odd, that), it&#8217;s all in good fun.

For example, Little Red Riding Hood has this exchange with the wolf when she meets [...]

		<description><![CDATA[I have higher expectations for Chuck Palahniuk, so I&#8217;m sorry to say that I was underwhelmed by this book.  True, there are scenes that are disturbingly grotesque, and much of it is fairly creepy, but taken as a whole, I remained unimpressed.

The book is divided into twenty-four chapters, each of which has three parts.  First [...]
