		<title>The People&#8217;s Act of Love by James Meek</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ Set in 1919 in Siberia, The People&#8217;s Act of Love by James Meek takes place at the end of a war.

		<title>The Sunday Salon: Bookstores</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ Finishing up The People&#8217;s Act of Love by James Meek incited a short-lived fascination with Russian literature. I made a small list of Russian literature I&#8217;d like to read and them promptly forgot about it until today. In my previous Sunday Salon post, two weeks ago, I mentioned this. Now I&#8217;m just updating to [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Moon by Stephanie Meyer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ The biggest complaint I&#8217;ve seen in reading reviews on this book is that the Cullen family wasn&#8217;t prominent in this book; vampires, in fact, were not prominent very much at all. In New Moon, Bella starts happy-go-lucky in her relationship with Edward, but very quickly and quite suddenly he decides that what is best [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Perhaps, like other masterpieces that one loves in youth, one would now find them like those beautiful creatures of the sea that seem to be vermilion and purple and gold under the waves, but are drab and ugly things when taken out of the water. This applies to some books that one reads with pleasure [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
August 21: My birthday. Richard is escorting me around the Northern Virginia area and, wait, you&#8217;ll never guess this one! We&#8217;re visiting bookstores! We did this once last year also and only managed about six, but since we&#8217;re more poor now than we were then we might even get to seven!
September 6: My brother&#8217;s wedding. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is the bibliophilic temperament, you see; its possessors constitute a kind of freemasonry, ever disposed to treat those blessed with a similar passion for books as if they were blood brothers.The Meaning of Night

		<title>&#8220;Ask&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The clothing slumped out of the dryer as Eve pulled it into the waiting clothes basket. She was grumbling, thinking of Tom too much. But of course she was thinking of Tom; what else was there to think of? A red, stringy sock hung from a structure within the machine, easily reminding Eve of bloody [...]]]></description>

I have plans later today to, gasp, trade some books into my used bookstore, paint, and write. A pretty full day, so let&#8217;s get this show on the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We live our lives like writing. The pen moves over the paper in regular lines. The past is written and can be read, the future is blank, and the pen must stay in the word that is being written now. The Mohican lives like drawing. He draws one stroke after the other, but the strokes [...]]]></description>
