I liked the USA Today from day one. I liked the color photos, the graphics, the shorter stories. And I was embarrassed to admit it. I should have pulled that full color newspaper out in public and read it...

There's a scene in the book Northern Lights that I can not find with Google book search. The character's name is Charlene Galloway and she is thinking about her life in Lunacy, Alaska, the lodge that she owns, and the years that have gone by. It's been a long time since I read it, but I think I...

Seems like this should be a bigger deal. It wasn't on the home page of any of the news sites I visit regularly.
Amazon picks its 10 best books of 2012 | Shelf Life | EW.com
Number 1 was The Roundhouse by Louise Erdrich. I didn't read it, but the synopsis in the article tells me why it was number one - a coming of age story. Can't wait to see it get the Pulitzer.
I didn't read any of the books in...
Reading 125 Titles A Year? That's 'One For The Books' : NPR
Joe Queenan is a humorist and some of his comments are tongue in cheek. However, he makes it clear which side of the fence he is on when it comes to "high brow vs. low brow" literature. He discounts genre fiction and he absolutely...
Self-Publishing Sees Triple-Digit Growth Since 2007
Self pubbing is growing in leaps and bounds. Nearly a quarter of a million titles were released last year, that's a crowded field to stand out in.
Subtitled 50 years of reporting in Washington, it's his very detaled memoirs with precise dates, locations and names. If you don't remember Novak, he's the one who stirred controversy by mentioning the name of CIA analyst Valerie Plame in print. He begins the book giving his side of the Plame...
This makes the second military/political thriller I've read recently that was a thinly disguised right-wing diatribe against the weak and liberal left. However, it's not a bad book. The plot revolves around an ex-Navy SEAL, (is everybody an ex-Navy SEAL now?), now in the CIA chasing down Islamic...

And I like it a lot. In fact, they are stealing one of my ideas by adding color to the market data section. The charts of the market indexes are now on a blue background with red markers for down days and green markers for up days.
Newspapers don't carry stock tables anymore, those columns of...
It's apparently a celebration where people known as 'givers' pass out free books to adults on April 23. The givers receive 30 free books from the WBN organization and distribute them according the guidelines. It began last year in the UK and will be observed in the US this year. I had never...
Doesn't sell newspapers anymore. Seriously. Saturdays with the WSJ and LA Times were one of the highlights of my weekend, but now the only place within walking distance that carries the WSJ is Starbucks, and I ain't waiting in line behind 15 latte drinkers to get a paper. I'm stuck with IBD and...

Craig A. Dubow, 56, a 30-year veteran of the company, has been Gannett's CEO since 2005. He began his second medical...
Subtitled The Story of Success. It tells the stories of successful people from a very different perspective. We've all heard about Bill Gates of course, but is it really true that he was just a hard working genius who worked his way to the top? There was more to it than that, and Gladwell gets...
