25 Books that Failed to Make My Top 25 Fictions List
20 hours ago ago from Vaguely Borgesian
Scanning through my written down list of books read for this year, I began taking notes of which books would comprise my 25 Favorite 2009 Fictions and which would fall just short. Below is a list of 25 books (most, but not all are novels, just as some of those that made my list were not novels) that for the most part will not appear in any of my other lists (with the exception of a few). There is no involved in these books; I wrote based on ...

Is it really days away from 2010? Seriously? I have no idea where this year has gone. I feel like I've accomplished a lot, but not nearly enough. Well, at least I finished by book goal. I officially finished my 50th bok on the 20th, but I've been a bit busy. You can check out my list HERE . It doesn't include a lot of the book I read for my Lit class, and I read a ton. They were all really good though so I won't complain.I'll probably start a ...

posted by Jonathan B. Row Three Sex Symbol Comments (0) I managed to read quite a few books this year. My list of favorite books that I read over its course is a bit more diverse than last year, managing to mix the must-read classics with high political fantasy, modern pop lit, and even a non-fiction argument against the existence of god, a book that convincingly goes so far to say that belief in a personal god ...

As we move closer to the New Year, I've been thinking through 2009, and thought I'd take a moment to post a few things. In an effort to make them not evolve around me, and instead, maybe help a few others out there, I'll start with the top 10 books I read this past year. One of my college professors, Dr. Jeff Myers , used to say, You'll be the same person 5 years from now that you are today, with the exception of 2 things: Who you spend ...

Steve Leveen: So... Are You Going to Write in That New Book?
10 hours ago ago from Huffington Post
I hope your every holiday wish came true as far as the books you wanted. And let's assume in a nostalgic kind of way that at least some of those books were printed on paper and bound between covers. Are you going to write in them? I've found few questions as polarizing for readers as whether they write in the hardcover books they own. Les Standiford , teacher, author and booklover, wouldn't dream of writing in his books. "I won't ...

Santa brought books to my house yesterday. It was the gift consistent across the board of giving, with books handed out to and from the eleven of us, from age eight to eighty-four. Recent releases, like Alice Munro's Too Much Happiness and Stephen King's Under the Dome , mixed it up with older favorites like Men Without Women by Hemingway, Rabbit Redux by Updike, and Letting Go by Philip Roth. There was a broad swath of genres, fantasy like ...

Welcome once again to our year-end wrapup and awards ceremony. Honesty dictates that I immediately genuflect to The McLaughlin Group , from whom I have stolen all these award categories. We will begin this week with Part 1 of these annual awards, and then next Friday on New Year's Day, we will present Part 2 , with reduced volume levels (for those who are nursing hangovers... ahem). Before we begin, though, we have to insert a free plug, ...
