The Washington Post book reviewers have started a blog. Their first entry? A list of books to read if you’re marriage is, well, not in the best shape. Always nice to see Kate Chopin’s "The Awakening" make a best-of list, no? - Vatican book on Templars’ demise

If there is one thing that is true about October 2007, it is that Philip Roth is ubiquitous. And — this is not a comment about his talent nor deserving of this attention — if it is true that some books do not "need" review space because they are already consumer favorites, doesn’t the wall-to-wall (or page-to-page) Roth coverage make this theorem a lie? - Frankfurt Book Fair 2007 – Survey
