And just like animals, we're also omnivores!  Wow.  I can see why white guys hate us now.

Ugh, I generally avoid this site's posts about Asians or Asian-related stories, just because the comment section is like my private school education all over again.

He could use it as a jumping off point about why women are terrible people and selfish and have no concept of the technology that links them to the world.

Well, I'm sure they feel they're entitled to it as lazy white people.

I saw about five minutes of Fox News' coverage last week, featuring- surprise!- an all-white panel of commentators who called his defense, "extremely credible."

I know it made back its budget, but it kinda seems like films have to double that at the least for them to be sequel-worthy.

No idea, but I do love that they seem to always have J. Courtney Sullivan's books autographed.

I've been trying to get friends to read my copy, but everyone seems kinda "meh" about it.  If you lived in Portland, I'd totally push my copy into your (hopefully) non-grubby hands.

I really need to read Taipei.  I've been kind of surprised that it has some mass appeal, i.e. a featured "read this!" book at both indie bookstores and Target.

I'm a Flynn-hater, but I think it's more because everyone called it a feminist book, and I didn't find it to be feminist at all.  But yes, I agree that she does satire very well.

I've been meaning to read The Interestings because I've generally loved all of Wolitzer's books.  I think the hardcover price always dissuades me when I pick it up at Powell's though.

Reading Life Itself just a couple weeks after Ebert's passing was pretty intense.  I read it at work and actually started sobbing at the end.

In all fairness, the limited hardcover does look pretty cool.

I didn't like it as much as The Colorado Kid, but I enjoyed it for what it was, and I liked that it generally avoided all the "sick kid" narratives of romance novels.

I need to read that.  I really didn't care for her first short story collection but adored Swamplandia! 

I was blown away by it.  I think I expected schmaltz because Entertainment Weekly praised it so much, but it really was amazing.

I couldn't make it through The Corrections the first time I tried.  I just read and loved Freedom though, so maybe I'll give it another shot?

I'm shocked you haven't read Tana French, @Scrawler2:disqus .  She's amazing, and also the writer I always bring up whenever someone starts praising Gillian Flynn.  She's one of the few writers whose books I always end up buying in hardcover because I can't wait for the cheaper edition.

Oh, @avclub-cfe912f5cb3aa572bd1c9ae2a9b82207:disqus , have you checked out The Searchers: The Making of An American Legend yet?  I found an advance reader's copy at a used bookstore last week and picked it up, despite not being a huge fan of Westerns in general, even some John Ford ones.  It was incredibly thorough…

@avclub-df106893a4574bccb7bce1ff66e788b9:disqus I actually appreciated having an overabundance of background information.  I'd rather have too much rather than too little, especially for a historical figure I know next to nothing about.  Also, I am really ignorant of European history in general, so I enjoyed getting…
