		<description><![CDATA[The author of The Talented Mr. Ripley series, and other diabolical crime mysteries had talent indeed, and an eccentric personality to match. The 2009 biography of Patricia Highsmith written by Joan Schenkar, entitled The Talented Miss Highsmith, attests to these facts. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you believe Lin Yutang, author of The Importance of Living, man is a curious wayward dreamer who is furiously pursuing all the wrong things. Yutang has a very specific philosophy for living life which will bring genuine contentment, and he begins with the idea of detachment, which is similar to Buddhist philosophy. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Electric Literature is a new literary magazine that seeks to reinvigorate the short story through e-publishing, mobile technology, and social media. With the amazing short story collections that have been published this year, from Both Ways is the Only Way I Want It by Maile Meloy to Alice Munro's Too Much Happiness, it would seem that Electric Literature is perfectly positioned for the resurgence of the contemporary short story.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Cry of the Sloth by Sam Savage has a desperate ring of truth. At the same time, the novel demonstrates how humor can get us through almost anything. Andrew Whittaker (Andy) is a slum landlord with no resources to fix anything, a novelist with the merest hope of ever writing a published novel, and the journal editor of his own literary magazine, SOAP.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Being a Philosophy major in college, I never thought there was anything funny about the subject of Philosophy. Understanding metaphysics, logic, rationalism and existentialism etc. discussed by the super thinkers of the world like Aristotle, Plato, Marx, Sartre, and Kierkegaard seemed anything but humorous. Trying to grasp the perplexing questions of life like, “Why are we here?” and “What’s it all about, Alphie?”  hardly seemed a subject for humor.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There is nothing I like better than a good literary mystery; one that is both suspenseful and sophisticated. I love a novel that not only gives you an intriguing plot, but also one with intricate character development, and sentences that are longer than six or seven words. Such a book is The Likeness by Tana French, her second after winning the Edgar Award for "In the Woods."

		<description><![CDATA[Until I read The Gardner Heist by Ulrich Boser, I did not know how easy it was to walk into a well known museum and simply lift rare and expensive art right off the walls. This is exactly what happened one early morning on March 18, 2009 in Boston, when two thieves entered the famous Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum and ripped off a Vermeer (only 35 left), three Rembrandts and five Degas, pulling off the biggest and most expensive heist in the world of art.]]></description>
