		<description><![CDATA[Huh.
Somewhat deliberately, I&#8217;ve avoided reading news reports about the drama between Amazon and MacMillan until now.  I don&#8217;t own a kindle (or any other e-reader) so I&#8217;m not personally invested in this in any way, so I figured it might be best to ignore it.
This morning I finally read a few articles on the subject [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Alright.  I&#8217;ve got to admit it. Twitterature bothers me.
You can read my original post about it here.
I&#8217;ll admit that the book could be funny, after all there&#8217;s clearly a bit of humor that has gone into its production, however I dislike the way this book was put together and marketed.  It seems to me [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday, Gapers Block made a post about Ewan Morrison&#8217;s list of the top ten literary threesomes.  Apparently the list contained two Chicago author&#8217;s books.  The Volcano Lover by Susan Sontag, a University of Chicago Alum, came in at #7 while Ernest Hemingway took the cake with The Garden of Eden placed at #1.  Apparently he [...]]]></description>

Wait, &#8230;what?
The author&#8217;s name is actually Sandra Cisneros.  An error seems to have occured somewhere between the Chicago Public Library and Speedy Gonzalez [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Forgive me for posting about Printer&#8217;s Row again, but the Tribune&#8217;s review of the event screams to be shared.  Phil Vettel seems to have enjoyed the event, praising its success despite the weather.  His review is mostly a list of highlights.  There are authors, there are booksellers, and there are &#8220;picture perfect moments.&#8221;  He writes:

During the orientation session that UIC held for it&#8217;s incoming graduate students last fall, one of the first things out of the program director&#8217;s mouth was, &#8220;We have AWP in Chicago this year, which is, of course, something that you&#8217;ll all be going to.&#8221;  But [...]]]></description>
