		<title>Literary therapy: &#8220;La Vita Nuova,&#8221; short fiction by Allegra Goodman</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is a guest post by Christie C. I was having one of those evenings. For the knots in my shoulders and back, I contemplated getting a massage from the Chinese folks who used to be next to the Dollar Store in Springfield Mall. (Because&#8230; well, they&#8217;re within my budget.) I quickly nixed the idea [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;Mermaid Fever,&#8221; a story from Steven Millhauser&#8217;s new collection, &#8220;Dangerous Laughter&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[[This is a guest post by Christie C.] The writer Steven Millhauser illuminates the shadowy nether-realms of human consciousness. Not the sinister, sordid stuff&#8211;but the stuff that we might not give a second thought to, the stuff that many writers don&#8217;t think to focus on as the main subject of a story. His terrain is often [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Gate at the Stairs, by Lorrie Moore</title>
		<description><![CDATA[[This is a review by Christie C, who will contribute more articles in the future.] Yesterday evening I attended writer Lorrie Moore&#8217;s book reading at the Politics &#38; Prose bookstore in Washington, D.C., a stop on her whirlwind tour to promote her new novel, &#8220;A Gate at the Stairs.&#8221; The room was full of mostly [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Translated Man, by Chris Braak</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the Sepulchral city of Trowth an aged, ill junkie by the name of Beckett and his trusty sidekicks, the callow Valentine and the blind yet clairaudient Skinner, attempt to solve a Mysterious Murder- which due to explosive Racial Tensions threaten to bring ruination to this Grand City. With influences from Mieville, VanderMeer, and Lovecraft, [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Devil&#8217;s Delusion, by David Berlinski</title>
		<description><![CDATA[From the jacket, D. Berlinski has taught both math and philosophy at the university level. Which makes my head hurt, because the logic errors that accumulate like autumn leaves crackle underfoot as he wades blithely forward. His brand of wit seems to encompass primarily snippy ad-hominem attacks, designed to irritate rather than debate.  The part [...]]]></description>

		<title>Scratch Beginnings, by Adam Shepard</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I heard about this book when the blog Get Rich Slowly interviewed the author and he said “Don&#8217;t buy my book. Email me, and and I&#8217;ll send you a digital copy.” (He now has a link to a direct download.) I decided to take him up on his offer. On “Authenticity” Many of the comments [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Last Man Who Knew Everything, by Andrew Robinson</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve always been a fan of polymaths. I find it inspiring to read about people who leap from field to field, excelling in each. Franklin, Leonardo&#8230; and now Thomas Young. This book chronicles the life of Thomas Young, who began the work on deciphering the Rosetta Stone, wrote on the particle/wave nature of light, pioneered [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Breakthrough Imperative, by M. Gottfredson and S. Schaubert</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I picked up The Breakthrough Imperative: How the Best Managers Get Outstanding Results as an advance reader at my bookstore. It should be coming out in March. There were some printing errors, but that happens with all readers, I think. I have recently been on a business kick, something that the person I was a [...]]]></description>

		<title>On Textbooks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Small Business Management: an Entrepreneurial Emphasis, by Longenecker, Moore, Petty, Palich This is the textbook for the ENTR 335 class. I am somewhat disappointed by it because I was hoping for something a little more detailed, but this book seems to focus more on relentless boosterism and extolling the glories of owning or starting your [...]]]></description>

		<title>Kevin Trudeau is a liar: says the LAW</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I suppose to avoid any potential libel suits, I should qualify that and say that he is not necessarily a liar; but he is a convicted misrepresenter. This is the small tidbit describing why he was convicted of Contempt of Court, since his easy, simple diet book was essentially none of the above. I hope [...]]]></description>
