This latest one, like so many others, is full ...             Shakespeare Wrote for Money Nick Hornby McSweeney's, 2008 "Reading begets reading" "Shakespeare Wrote For Money" is Nick Hornby's latest and last collection of his "Stuff I've Been Reading" columns from "The Believer Magazine."

Just beautiful. For those few who cares, the design of this book is breath-taking. Chris Ware does, not, slack. Every bit of this book is given great level of attention in making sure the details are absolutely perfect. If you have any love for 1) Comics or 2) Book Design at all, this ...             The Latke Who Couldn't Stop Screaming: A Christmas Story Lemony Snicket McSweeney's, 2007 A story that educates and entertains A latke makes a quick getaway from a frying pan hoping to challenge its fate, and so begins this Chanukah adventure.

Dave Eggers, Sarah Manguso, ... McSweeney's, 2007 Lovingly Crafted This box of stories is such a treat! The stories in each of the three books might come from the same tradition and share some sensibilities (the precision of language, lovingly crafted sentences), but each has its own voice, style, and character. And that's part of the ...             Housekeeping vs. the Dirt Nick Hornby McSweeney's, 2006 Another Fantastic Collection I'll pretty much devour anything Nick Hornby publishes, but this book filled me with a little extra "I know just what you're talking about" glee with the features on Sarah Vowell, probably my next favorite writer next to Hornby, and Jess Walter, who hails from my neck ...             What Is the What Dave Eggers McSweeney's, 2006 What was the What? Valentino Achak Deng's story alone would have been enough to win my approval of this fine piece of literature.

Apparently I was too explicit and passionate the first time. Days before discovering this book I wondered if someone out there thought about compiling a list of all known metal bands. I ...             Vacation Deb Olin Unferth McSweeney's, 2008 Lucky to have "Vacation" - funny, tragic and terrifying Each sentence in "Vacation" propels us into the next one: the language is a mix of the way we think only we alone speak to ourselves inside our head, the appallingly lonely thoughts, the insane reasoning we would never tell anyone about -and music, the kind of music ...             The Secret Language of Sleep: A Couple's Guide Evany Thomas McSweeney's, 2006 Laughing in my Sleep The Secret Language of Sleep: A Couple's Guide to the Thirty-Nine Position is the Gibbon's History of the Roman Empire of sleeping position guidebooks.

Nick Hornby, Neil Gaiman, ... McSweeney's, 2005 sweet The general impression is that it's a collection of stories that the authors would have like to read when they were kids. Some of them may be scary to the announced age group (4-7) but most are just sweet. For the adult many of them will remind the reader how it was to ...             Everything That Rises: A Book of Convergences Lawrence Weschler McSweeney's, 2007 Emergence through convergence For its strange and compelling originality, I gave this book five stars.
