		<description><![CDATA[I recently discovered, quite by accident, a very unscientific, yet useful, method for identifying a poorly written novel. This is only my opinion, mind you, but it seems to work.  Here&#8217;s how: I read the first two or three chapters, or first 30-40 pages, whichever is greater.  If I can then skip to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Twice in the last couple of days, a very attentive &#8212; and very helpful &#8212; listener named Carol has called my attention to the fact that she was unable, for technical reasons, to listen to a few of my interviews. Thanks to Carol I found a couple of audio or HTML files that contained errors, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I may not be a full-fledged old fogy yet, but I have my learner&#8217;s permit.  When I started interviewing authors, back in the mid &#8217;80s, most of the authors I met were older than I was. Sometime in the late &#8217;90s, it began to feel like most of them were my age. And now, they&#8217;re [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I just finished one of the worst interviews I have ever done, and it was absolutely no one&#8217;s fault but my own.  (No, I will not embarrass the author by telling you who it was.)  I actually apologized to him after the tape was turned off, for the lousy job I had just done. And [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Every day I am contacted by authors seeking an interview on Eye on Books.  The vast majority of these contacts are polite and businesslike. But there are some authors (or their publicists) who are convinced that if one email is good, three or four are better.  When my inbox displays several incoming emails with [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Despite widespread agreement that too many books are in the marketplace, publishers apparently can&#8217;t help themselves.   There were a record 195,000 books published in 2004, a 14 percent jump over 2003 and a whopping 72-percent more than in 1995.  Who&#8217;s reading all these books??

Saturday, March 05, 2005 07:00 PM
Cervantes, Miguel de, will be promoting Don Quixote
ARLINGTON (VA) SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA/Booksigning
3001 N. Beauregard St, Alexandria, VA
A search for booksignings by Charles Dickens or Rudyard Kipling turned up no results.  Drat.

With each succeeding book, however, my admiration and affection for Queenan have intensified.  Red Lobster, White Trash &#038; The Blue Lagoon was hilarious,  Balsamic Dreams was a [...]]]></description>
