  2. Winter book preview

    Looking ahead to books in 2013 is a little like predicting the Los Angeles weather: sunny, pleasant, better than average. The fiction fields are fertile, the nonfiction skies clear and the young adult books are fresh like spring rain.

  3. Giving the gift of literature

    They're meaningful, beautiful, portable, and, by the standards of modern gift giving, appealingly inexpensive. They also ship and wrap easily, and allow me to put my money where my heart is: art, ideas and the written word. So why did I hesitate for so long to give books as gifts? For the same reasons, I'm guessing, that a lot of book-lovers refrain. The pitfalls, from giving a book to someone who already has it, to giving a book a to someone who hates it unconditionally, are considerable.

  5. How e-books have started to eliminate my 'TBR' pile

    Change of Subject

  6. First editions: A rare present

    Never mind the Morlocks. For a book lover, the most chilling scene in the 1960 screen adaptation of "The Time Machine" is the one in which the Time Traveler is taken to the decrepit library of the Eloi race. "I can learn all I want about you from books," he exults. But when he picks up one of the neglected tomes, it crumbles to dust in his hands. "Yes," he states ruefully, "they do tell me all about you."

  12. You know bookstores are still around, right?

    Last Sunday morning I arrived at Seminary Co-op Bookstore in Hyde Park a couple of hours before it opened. The Co-op, founded by 17 University of Chicago students in 1961 and beloved by Hyde Park, had spent its 51 years in the cloistered, claustrophobic, labyrinthine basement corridors of the Chicago Theological Seminary, a graystone cathedral on South University Avenue with gothic curves and heavy wooden doors several inches thick.
