Personal Pronouns (Joe Lehrer Mysteries #1):
"Personal Pronouns is a fun, fast-paced sleuth story with a believable, everyday trio of protagonists. The main protagonist, Joe Lehrer-- a high school teacher of German, like the author-- is a well-developed character: grieving, believably flawed, an"

of
The Fabric of Civilization: How Textiles Made the World:
"We tend not to think of fabrics because they are so everyday and have been with us since humans began wearing clothing, including animal skins. Postrel presents the stories behind this "everyday" that got me saying "wow" and "aha" over and over again"

"Not sure I've seen the Magic Theater trope used since Hermann Hesse. Huebner does a good job of reviving this as a transformative device. The story revolves around two women mainly, with the men mostly as background; as such, it is the women who grow"

| I was drawn to pick this up at the distributor's table at AWP, as I'm always curious about novels set in Prague. Usually such novels by non-Czechs disappoint, but I was optimistic about this one, given that it's a magical realist tale set in 1967-68 ...more | |

“A lot of the people who read a bestselling novel, for example, do not read much other fiction. By contrast, the audience for an obscure novel is largely composed of people who read a lot. That means the least popular books are judged by people who have the highest standards, while the most popular are judged by people who literally do not know any better. An American who read just one book this year was disproportionately likely to have read ‘The Lost Symbol’, by Dan Brown. He almost certainly liked it.”

“In my work, I see a lot of women who suffer from low self-esteem. They think they’re unattractive, but the way society today—” “I don’t think I’m unattractive,” she says. “That’s good. That’s great. It’s not something women are always aware of on a conscious level, though. So, I would like you to be open-minded to the possibility that perhaps, deep down, you might be feeling unattractive without being aware of it. And if that’s the case, you might feel there’s no point in even trying to look better.” “Yeah but, no. I don’t think I’m unattractive. And I don’t think it subconsciously either.”
