		<title>Monday&#8217;s Great Read for Kids &#8211; Dinosaur Roar</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;re going to keep it short and sweet this Monday after a working weekend and a night bereft of sleep. So follows an unequivocal recommendation that you read to your young one Dinosaur Roar by Paul and Henrietta Strickland.

Dinosaur Roar is full of simple rhymes that also teach the concept of opposites.

		<title>Friday Fun &#8216;n&#8217; Games &#8211; Library Labryrinth</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today&#8217;s fun &#8216;n&#8217; game comes from a recommendation by good friend and fellow blogger at this site Walter.  Do we detect some deeper going on when a man enrolled in an online LIS program sends us a game that involves evading guards and escaping a physical library building? Perhaps, dear reader. Perhaps.
Nevertheless, Library Labyrinth is [...]]]></description>

Original image by Mister Wind-up Bird on flickr.
OK, so hopefully all of you that stop by here from time to time are functionally literate1. I hazard a guess that most of my regular readers2 are informationally literate, even if you don&#8217;t really know or care what that is. Heck, if called to testify before a [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Lock Artist</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I think it was Confucius who first said &#8220;Love is a Battlefield.&#8221;1 Wise words indeed. An no less applicable in the realm of human devotion than to the love of reading. Though you often can judge a book by its cover, you are never quite sure what you were going to get. So it was [...]]]></description>

		<title>All your banks are belong to us &#8211; Union Atlantic by Adam Haslett</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Adam Haslett&#8217;s Union Atlantic had been getting quite a bit of buzz, including the coveted Fresh Air interview.1.  So I decided to grab it hot off the library shelf when it arrived.  Haslett&#8217;s first novel, following a critically acclaimed volume of short stories, is largely about the circumstances leading to the current financial crisis.

What I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Monday&#8217;s Great Read for Kids &#8211; Tongue-tied edition</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today&#8217;s reading recommendation comes with a warning. So be warned &#8211; trying to read this book too fast, too soon will only result in heartbreak. But if you take it slow you will eventually win acclaim for your verbal virtuosity and win the unending love of your young one1.
Yes, I&#8217;m talking about that old classic [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Many Deaths of the Firefly Brothers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Banks are failing, working men and women lose their jobs and paranoia about the future of the American economy is widespread. Sound a little like 2010? Think again. It&#8217;s the Great Depression and Thomas Mullen writes about the Fireson1 brothers and their experience trying to survive economic and near-social collapse.


They were already worshiped during their [...]]]></description>

		<title>Monday&#8217;s Great Read for Kids &#8211; A Color of His Own</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Belonging is an eternal struggle for most of us, especially in our youth.  Using simplicity in both illustration and story Leo Lionni tells a touching story about belonging, friendship and acceptance. A Color of His Own starts out with the universal truth that &#8220;all animals have a color of their own&#8221;

Except for Chameleons1. Chameleons, we [...]]]></description>

		<title>DWGs, or, New Old Reads</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Reading dead white guys (DWGs) is passe, if not downright anti- this &#38; that. Leave some Conrad or Mailer on your table, you&#8217;re surely a scoundrel. I base this loosely on schooling and past retail experience, the latter involving an intellectual comaraderie well-suited to judgment. In college, and largely still, I read a lot of current fiction.1 A healthy [...]]]></description>

		<title>Friday Fun &#8216;n&#8217; Games &#8211; Wake the Royalty</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Long has it been the pleasure of those not part of the establishment to knock &#8211; when possible &#8211; the elite from their metaphorical1 high horse. And so we arrive in this strange geometrical kingdom where the royalty seems borderline narcoleptic. What&#8217;s this!? Asleep with a kingdom to run? Surely this is a problem that [...]]]></description>
