I've seen several books with 'Death' as a character come in recently and decided to see how many titles there were (that I could find on our shelves). The list was large enough for a half display. I stuck to traditional western views of death, though things like Deathnote and The Anubis Murders did come under consideration. Feel free to suggest other titles in the comments. I also know that several...

NaBloPoMo Topic #24: "My favorite author(s) is (are)... " Oh, how do I follow up my list of favorite books? I suppose the easy way out of this one would be to simply list the authors I mentioned there because it goes without saying that my favorite authors wrote my favorite books. I could also take the narcissistic way out and simply list all my own titles. Or, I guess I could just name one...

From the NY Times : Last week the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission voted 6 to 3 to give landmark protection to the 100-year-old B. F. Goodrich tire company building on Broadway just north of 57th Street, but not to a connected building around the corner designed by the same architect at the same time. Some commission members on both sides of that unusual divided vote cried foul, complaining...

A few months back I finished the 4th Thursday Next novel Something Rotten by Jasper Fforde, which finished off the first story arc. Instead of doing a review for book 4 in a series I haven't reviewed on this site before and one that has been out for a few years I thought I'd show some love for the series on a whole and in turn hopefully entice people to try it out. I admittedly got on the Jasper Fforde...

Christopher Moore It is possible to tell the similar stories as serious dramas (think the most recent Batman movies), and as melodramatic campy comedies (think the 1970s Batman TV serial). The same applies to vampires. If you want serious (albeit saccharine) dramatic romance, you can read Stephanie Meyer's Twilight series. The second book in that series, New Moon, is coming to the big screen this month....

In a piece from Newsweek (via Bryan Vartabedian), Yale emergency physician Christopher Moore details a common scenario: should he order a CT scan in an asymptomatic 15-year old who was hit in the back of the head while playing soccer?

IT'S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE ZOMBIES It happens every year, and we all tolerate it...well, maybe just barely. Advertisers and stores love to push the yuletide envelope--dragging out Christmas decorations or displays far before trick-or-treaters have had a chance to put a dent in their Halloween candy. At the risk of jumping on the way-too-early bandwagon, but while giving all that goes bump in...
