		<title>The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ This was my first book by Milan Kundera, an author who has been recommended to me several times over by multiple friends (and book blogs). I&#8217;m now officially a recommender of this author, or in any case, this book in particular (I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;ll be reading others soon). It is exactly the kind of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Maurice Francis Egan</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;To me, the intense delight I have in novels and poems is due to their power of taking me out of myself, of enlightening me as to my own faults and peculiarities, not by preaching but by example, and of raising me to a higher plane of toleration and of gaiety of heart.&#8221;Confessions of a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Creative Update</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So I&#8217;ve created (and sent, tomorrow) 5/8 of my promised paintings. I have to buy some more canvas for the rest, but once they&#8217;re all painted and sent I&#8217;ll post the results here. They&#8217;ve been received pretty well so far. 
I also painted people for the first time ever a week or so ago. Okay, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Year of Wonders by Geraldine Brooks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ By all accounts and appearances, Year of Wonders by Geraldine Brooks should be a beautifully received masterpiece about the plauge in 17th century England. In a small Derbyshire village, residents begin to die from this horrid disease, described in such detail as to make the reader fully aware of the devastation. Michael Mompellion, the [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Sunday Salon: National Book Festival</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ It&#8217;s true, I don&#8217;t actually have a lot to say today because I work (and thus don&#8217;t have a lot of time to read at the moment). I&#8217;ve been pretty productive in my reading since I last wrote, though; I finished The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera, and despite my confessions about [...]]]></description>

		<title>Diana Gabaldon</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;It was not Monsieur Arouet, but a colleague of his&#8212;a lady novelist&#8212;who remarked to me once that writing novels was a cannibal&#8217;s art, in which one often mixed small portions of one&#8217;s friends and one&#8217;s enemies together, seasoned them with imagination, and allowed the whole to stew together into a savory concoction.&#8221;Voyager

		<title>On Befriending A Writer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Let me get this out in the open: When you befriend a writer, whether it is someone who takes the craft seriously or someone who dabbles in it every now and then, your life is subject to content. Yes, your life. Anything that happens in it, anything that you&#8217;ve said or done, no matter how [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;Invitation&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Were you waiting for an invitation? God, Eve, it&#8217;s home. You can come any time you want.&#8221; Donald sighed, stretched his arms wide and regarded Eve as if she were a child. She looked down, exhausted.
The flight had been a long one with three stops and a few overlays, and Eve found herself staring at [...]]]></description>

		<title>September 18, 2008</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today’s Booking Through Thursday question is: Autumn is starting (here in the US, anyway), and kids are heading back to school. Does the changing season change your reading habits? Less time? More? Are you just in the mood for different kinds of books than you were over the summer?
A few people have responded to this [...]]]></description>
