		<title>The Hunger Games packed with gritty, blood-thirsty action</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ If it&#8217;s a daring story of survival, self-knowledge, and human limitations you&#8217;re after, then The Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins, will leave you hungry for more.  In a stomach-lurching combination of Shirley Jackson&#8217;s &#8220;The Lottery,&#8221; William Golding&#8217;s Lord of the Flies, Gladiator, and even the recently released film, Death Race, The Hunger Games will leave [...]]]></description>

		<title>Unconventional lives up to its name</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ As indicated by its title, Unconventional, by J.J. Hebert, is certainly not the average novel.  In fact, rather than merely being entertained by a good story, Hebert managed to locate every belief and vulnerability I possess and then challenge it. The result is a heart-stirring journey the reader takes right along with an unforgettable [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Moon better on-screen than Twilight</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ While I liked the film adaptation of Stephenie Meyer&#8217;s Twilight well enough, I must admit I was a bit squeamish to see New Moon after its debut last week. New Moon is my favorite book of the series, and I was afraid Director Chris Weitz would leave me disappointed. Thankfully, that didn&#8217;t happen.

		<title>In defense of Laurie Halse Anderson</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ In recent weeks, Laurie Halse Anderson received notice of three attempts to ban two of her books, Twisted, and Speak.  Luckily, both Speak and Twisted survived these attempts and are still allowed to be taught in classrooms in Temecula, CA (Speak)  and Mt. Sterling, KY (Twisted).  However, these attempted bans never fail to remind us [...]]]></description>
