Welcome to the book section, where our motto is (with apologies to our high school English teachers), "Life's too short to spend it reading Jane Austen." On these pages, you won't find much in the way of classic literature, but you will find a wide variety of lesser-known works that are sure to keep you entertained. We'll also cover those titles on the bestseller list that we feel truly merit the recognition, and make you aware of some excellent books that were butchered in their translation to the silver screen. I should state up front, however, that the reviews contained here will reflect the inherent biases of the contributing writer(s). For example, since your loyal book page editor can't seem to get enough adrenaline during her day job as a fast-paced advertising executive (yawn…), she reads more than her share of thrillers. Thus, you will see that genre very well-represented here-with the conspicuous absence of Tom Clancy, who puts me to sleep. Similarly well-represented will be material of a humorous nature, because the editor, like, thinks she has a good sense of humor, or something. As for the rest of the titles, well, they will be a mixture of whatever else happens to catch our fancy. As with the rest of this site, we are open to suggestions and guest contributors. Enjoy the reviews, flood me with feedback, and keep reading… SectionsMonthly Feature
