		<title>Fiction vs. Nonfiction: Clash of the Titans? Part Duh</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Why do I set up this (false) dichotomy of fiction-slash-nonfiction? Isn&#8217;t it just a spurious argument to say that they are different species?  Or that one should dominate the other?  Eat the other&#8217;s lunch? [Or breakfast? John McPhee: "Nonfiction---what the hell, that just says, this is nongrapefruit we're having this morning. It doesn't mean anything. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Nonfiction vs. Fiction: Clash of the Titans?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been pondering the difference in my experience of reading fiction &#38; nonfiction&#8230; &#38; it&#8217;s gotten to be (the pondering) a bit more than ponderous sometimes.  Over the past few months (&#38; years), my most enjoyable reading, &#38; the predominant part of it, has been in nonfiction, &#38; the fiction I&#8217;ve read (with exceptions noted [...]]]></description>

		<title>THE IMMORTAL LIFE OF HENRIETTA LACKS</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s really wonderful when the Enthusiast can share his excitement &#38; admiration for a book or a subject with a colleague.  It&#8217;s especially nice when, in my role as senior bookbuyer, my intuition that a forthcoming book would meet up with an enthusiastic reader on staff prompts me to get an advance copy for that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thelonious Monk &amp; Everybody Else</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After a buzzy book season last fall &#38; the holidaze, &#38; a welcomed 2 weeks off in Jamaica (warmth!) in January, The Enthusiast is back at The Bookloft blogsite bracing (just begging) to blog. The big book for me last year was Thelonious Monk: The Life and Times of an American Original (Free Press) by [...]]]></description>

		<title>PANCHA TANTRA Lands at Bookloft</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m psyched about local artist &#38; friend-of-the-store Walton Ford&#8217;s new edition of his PANCHA TANTRA, which has just arrived at The Bookloft.  The publisher Taschen has done a beautiful job of replicating its awesomely huge limited-edition monograph of 2 years ago in a smaller but still breathtaking hardcover.  It&#8217;s as we say a coffee-table book [...]]]></description>

Now it&#8217;s started &#38; the grand marshall is Thomas Pynchon&#8216;s INHERENT VICE, his stoned-soul beach-read of a [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Enthusiast @ The Bookloft</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As the Enthusiast @ The Bookloft I want to let you know about not only the books we&#8217;re most enthusiastic about, our Staff Picks, but also the cultural sounds &#38; sights that get me revved up.
