All you have to do is simply buy a book. Better World Books is a US-based online bookseller founded by college students who decided to start a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The cover of the book shows armed policemen with standing and crouching over the body. Most have the widest of grins on them and one gives the thumbs-up. The back cover describes the events leading to the killing as an &#8220;exhilarating&#8221; true story. But as Mark Bowden&#8216;s Killing Pablo makes clear, the victim was hardly [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In order to explain why Japanese toys and associated character mechandising are winning over the world, it&#8217;s of course essential to take a long hard look at Japan and the Japanese. That&#8217;s what Prof Anne Allison did at the beginning of her book, Millennial Monsters: Japanese Toys and the Global Imagination. The commonly held view [...]]]></description>

I had thought I was still one but it turns out, no, not much of one at all. I certainly was one before. In my youth, I spent my evenings and school P.E. sessions [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Tipping Point was the book of the moment six years ago. This would make me a laggard at the tail-end of a trend since I&#8217;ve only read it last week. The book is ostensibly about social trends and the elements that cause some of them to take off wildly and improbably. That&#8217;s interesting in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve finished my first read-through of &#8220;The Extraordinary Works of Alan Moore.&#8221; It&#8217;s an entertaining book-length interview of comics&#8217; greatest writer with tributes by his collaborators. Don&#8217;t be fooled by the title, though; the most fascinating aspects of the book aren&#8217;t about his works but about the man himself. His major works have been dissected [...]]]></description>
