		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s the deal. I&#8217;m only going to write about things I really like. Not every single book I read. Not every single trip I take. Only the things I really truly like. I&#8217;m not trying to be a critic (but I am undeniably a consumer). OK, now that&#8217;s out of the way. So here&#8217;s some [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[All of the stories you heard were true: Steve Jobs is an asshole. But he&#8217;s also a genius, and part of being a genius is knowing how to get what you want. This biography is a little dry at times (and I&#8217;m a nerd, so you know it is REALLY dry) &#8211; but it is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So Kim Jong-il died, and someone on the interwebs posted about this book review on motherjones. The book sounded super intriguing &#8211; basically, it&#8217;s a memoir of a high school dropout from New Jersey who started a bbq restaurant and somehow got involved in North Korean diplomacy. The book was just as exciting as I [...]]]></description>

It was interesting, but also terribly disjointed. When I started the book, I thought it was going to be about the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This book is unusually but beautifully written. Instead of telling the story of one Japanese mail-order bride and her journey to America &#8211; it tells the story of many women and their individual journeys through WWII America. The book is only 66 pages long, but it takes a while to get through&#8230;lots of emotion. 66 [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Pretty interesting book about the ultra-running phenomenon. It focuses on the Tarahumara Indians, a reclusive tribe located in a desolate set of canyons in Mexico. These people like to run. They run for days at a time (seriously!) and even *like* it. Christopher McDougall spent some time in Mexico, trying to get more information about [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[To tell you the truth, I kind of freaked out a little when writing that last book review. I&#8217;m only at book 37&#8230;and I&#8217;m supposed to read 52 books by the end of the year. Yeah, probably not going to happen. Consider this one a desperate attempt at fixing my procrastination problem. (Tell-all memoirs are [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Tiger&#8217;s Wife is a collection of stories within stories, of myth and folklore and a history that includes both. Natalie, the narrator of the book, is on her way to volunteer at a medical clinic in parts of the rural former Yugoslavia when she gets news of her grandfather&#8217;s death. From there the story [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[1Q84 (the Q stands for QuestionMark) is typical Murakami. Very lyrical writing (thanks to Jay Rubin &#8211; who translated it into English) and a multifaceted underlying story with parallel universes (1984 &#038; 1q84) that are somehow connected. OK &#8211; so there were some parts of this book that really creeped me out (hint: basically all [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Predictably, I loved Anthony Bourdain&#8217;s tell-most book about the professional cooking world. The book goes through the formation of Anthony Bourdain&#8217;s career &#8211; from his first experience of amazing food, through his drug addled coming of age in kitchens up and down the east coast, to culinary school, a string of failed restaurants, and eventually [...]]]></description>
