		<title>Coinage 1</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For some reason I decided to go through all our loose change. I ended up with $65 in US quarters, about $10 in miscellaneous failed US large denomination coins (three kinds of dollars and several Kennedy half-dollars), a small bucket of Canadian coins, and lots of foreign, rare and non-coins. I&#8217;m going to post about [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Magicians by Lev Grossman</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;It&#8217;s not a rip-off, it&#8217;s an homage.&#8221; The second of my BEA haul, this alternately frustrating and compelling fantasy novel aimed at the NPR set is getting a major publicity push, with not just an official website but also multiple fictional ones as well. (The fan art could be more believable &#8212; where are the [...]]]></description>

		<title>The City &amp; The City by China Miéville</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I went to Book Expo America this year and mailed back two boxes of books just like I did at the American Library Association conference last year. I think this year&#8217;s crop will be less fruitful than ALA&#8217;s, but I know I got a few good books already, and one of them is the new [...]]]></description>

		<title>Netherland by Joseph O&#8217;Neill</title>
		<description><![CDATA[At the end of 2008 a number of book blogs published their best-of lists, and whenever I had a spare minute I made a point of hunting down the Amazon Kindle sample chapters. Netherland came up repeatedly, and when it made the news recently (the president is apparently reading it) I started the sample. By [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pride and Prejudice and Zombies by Seth Grahame-Smith</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This book clearly was written for only one person &#8212; me &#8212; and yet it&#8217;s been enormously popular and has already landed its author lucrative book and movie deals. I&#8217;m happy for him, because even though I thought the novel was ultimately a disappointment, I still smile when I think about it. Like many Onion [...]]]></description>

		<title>Adventureland</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I loved Adventureland, and if you&#8217;re anything like me you will too. Wistful teen romantic comedy! Set in the 80s! Soundtrack by Yo La Tengo! Forget the part about the hazy nostalgia of lost youthful love, though. For verisimilitude, movies like this should include a coda in which twenty years later the protagonists find each [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Savage Detectives by Roberto Bolaño,  Dona Flor and her Two Husbands by Jorge Amado</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Everybody was talking about Bolaño this year because of 2666, but Dan got 2666 for Christmas and I got The Savage Detectives. We started reading them around the same time, and despite the fact that 2666 is at least twice as long, I finished a month later. I&#8217;m not sure what my problem is with [...]]]></description>

		<title>A conversation over dinner</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m watching the dog chew on a stuffed hedgehog.  &#8220;I wonder what stops her from doing this to our faces while we sleep.&#8221; The dog noses inside the toy and disembowels it.  Stuffing is strewn all over the rug. &#8220;I&#8217;ll take first watch,&#8221; Dan says.]]></description>

		<title>I have a dream</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Some friends of mine and I decided to go to the inauguration.  It was pretty expensive, and I was told at the gate that Barack Obama had declared that his economic stimulus package required that everyone pay in cash. I happened to have enough money so I gave it to the cashier.  She looked through [...]]]></description>
