		<description><![CDATA[So far, I have only a couple of cooking goals for the year. One, I want to learn to cook dried beans in my slow cooker. Two, I want to learn to make pizzas. Neither of these will seem like major challenges to most of you, I&#8217;m sure, but they are things that I&#8217;ve had [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is another book I&#8217;ve had for years and just now got around to reading. Prodigal Summer is a lovely novel, one of my favorites by Barbara Kingsolver. Before this book, the only novel of hers I really loved was The Poisonwood Bible; for me, that novel was in a different league than her earlier [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This was an interesting book, one of those that I couldn&#8217;t tell you whether I liked or enjoyed. Even having finished it, I&#8217;m still on the fence. The attraction of the book for me was the portrait of the artist as Sally Mann, and the speculation about her daughters&#8217; lives. I don&#8217;t know how this [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was somewhat disappointed in Auntie Mame, by Patrick Dennis. This was another book that had the reputation of being clever that didn&#8217;t resonate with me. It was entertaining at times, in a light period kind of way, but I didn&#8217;t find myself saying, &#8216;oh, the wit, the wit!&#8217; as I read. I certainly enjoyed [...]]]></description>

As expected, I have had no trouble actually reading, but a bit less success powering through some of the denser works that have been sitting by the side of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I loved The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian, and found the balance of humor and pathos just right. Maybe it takes the voice of a young narrator to really convey the hilarity and heartache of childhood, or maybe it&#8217;s the more direct relationship to Alexie&#8217;s personal biography, but it moved me in a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I hated this book. I know that it&#8217;s super popular and everyone has raved about how Khaled Hosseini is a rising star, and The Kite Runner is an ingenious and personalized look at the rise of the Taliban in Afghanistan. Nonetheless, I wanted to throw it across the room every few pages. Truthfully, I only [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This book I did very much enjoy. I purchased it after reading The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, and was looking forward to another novel where I could give myself over to the writing free of expectations. Although it sat on my shelf for some time before I got to it, Kafka On the Shore didn&#8217;t disappoint. [...]]]></description>

Tonight I&#8217;ll join my friends to screen the fifth film. I&#8217;m sure the film will be great in all the ways that the other films have been great&#8212;Alan Rickman, Ralph Fiennes, Maggie [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On the whole, I was disappointed in this series by Garth Nix. The first book, Sabriel, was decently engaging. I didn&#8217;t love it, but it was clever and the level of the angst of the teen protagonists was bearable. It reads as a stand-alone book, and I enjoyed it more than the latter two books.
