• Buy One Book and Read It 2010 - challenge

  
  not enough books — Authority: 129
  I know..I thought I was done with the challenges as well. I saw this button and thought it was way too cute and it needed to show itself on my blog, so I had to join. No really, honestly, I buy the majority of the books I read. Therefore this challenge shouldnt be too hard, except, you actually have to read those ...

• Wherefore Print on Demand by Marc Schuster

  
  The Nervous Breakdown — Authority: 597
  When I said that I was an English teacher, a friend of mine, who shall remain nameless, added that I was a writer, too. This, it turned out, was the opportunity the man behind the counter was waiting for—a chance to plug his girlfriend’s book. It was a book of poetry, he explained, as he scribbled his ...

  The Nervous Breakdown — Authority: 597
  It was the summer of 1977. Like every other college graduate in America, I was in Europe. I hitchhiked and Eurail-passed the length and breadth of the continent, from East Berlin to the west coast of Ireland, from the tip of Sicily to just inside the Arctic Circle.

• Zadie Smith and Her Craft

  
  The Nervous Breakdown — Authority: 597
  She talks about the craft of writing a novel, and she sets down a simple set of rules for writing, at least how she writes. Talking about past tense, first person, and how she always comes back to third person past tense, but it takes her forever to get there. How there are micro and macro writers, (read it, and ...

• When We Fell In Love - Roger Smith

  
  The Nervous Breakdown — Authority: 597
  I still have it, a dog-eared little paperback with a plain silver cover sporting a bullet hole and a one-liner: a novel of violence. A tight piece of gutter existentialism – lean as a Brazilian supermodel – it follows Parker (no first name, no morals, precious little backstory) an ex-con out of prison and out for ...

  Nikki Grimes latest picture book, Voices of Christmas (Zonderkidz, 2009), is one of those books that makes me go, Why hasnt someone done this before?

  The Nervous Breakdown — Authority: 597
  Marlo listened to the Super Foods store manager, whose name she wouldn’t be able to remember if he wasn’t wearing a nametag, tell her that this was a good employee, someone who had been with the store for years. Marlo didn’t nod her head; she just focused her eyes on Frank’s. He was treading water and they ...

  The Nervous Breakdown — Authority: 597
  From the time I could walk I accompanied my father on his visits to the Brooklyn Public Library branch a mile from our home. The old man loved libraries, had worked in one at the University of Warsaw during his bohemian days when, in the months before the Nazis onslaught –he escaped on the last ship out of the free ...

• Ellroy, Good and Bad

  
  Caustic Cover Critic — Authority: 417
  I have to thank sharp-eyed reader Ian Rogers for drawing the following to my attention: the atmospheric, eye-catching and vivid new James Ellroy cover from the US (its a Knopf, so possibly a Chip Kidd design?)... ..and the rather ugly UK equivalent, which has no credited designer, and which on first glance ...
