EDITORIALS
Behind the Words at BiblioBuffet
It's a blog. Not just any blog, but one in which you can share some of the goings-on behind each week's issue.
From the Editor's Desk
Has it been a stressful week for you? If yes, why not join Lauren in a week of reading. If not, do it anyway. It’s a good thing for everyone at any time.
COLUMNS
A Reading Life: Nicki Leone
Nicki has never been one one to be content with the “safe” reading book clubs sometimes choose. Here she explores her feelings about her own club's choices of safe reading material and offers suggestions for “unsafe” material.
BibliOpinions: Guests
Guest columnist Frank X. Roberts re-introduces to the world one of its best-hidden poems, one that celebrates the “sweet witchery” of books.
Book Brunch: Lev Raphael
Lev, like many writers, has had a long and winding road on his way to publishing success and he mulls it all over in this tribute to lessons never learned from his writing professors.
Literary Amusements
Wise, witty and sardonic quotes about books and reading.
Memoirama: Lindsay Champion
Lindsay tackles a new type of memoir for her—dark and graphic, an unusual type from an illustrator known for his “bright illustrations and upbeat narratives” in children’s books to learn how this award-winning artist found his way out of a disturbing and difficult childhood to not only heal himself but to point the way for others to do the same.
On Marking Books: Laine Farley & Lauren Roberts
From bookmarks as a personal passion to bookmarks as the focus of a virtual convention. Lauren recounts her involvement with this form of ephemera and what led her, a notable non-collector of anything, to start her collection to her recent stint as co-founder of the inaugural Bookmark Collectors Virtual Convention.
The Athletic Supporter
Why do women still have a tough time writing about sports? It’s not because they are uninformed, Pete Croatto says, but because their looks keep getting in the way of their primarily male readers.
Things Said and Done
David's passion is to understand the history of warfare and the role assumes in society. Perhaps there is no stronger a position it has taken than in World War II, and no participant more notorious than that of Adolf Hitler. Often described as a monster, Hitler nevertheless had a personal life that some of those in it—his secretary, valet, and chauffeur—saw and felt in ways different from what history has shown the world.
Writer-in-Residence
Yes, size matters, insists Lauren. At least it does in the case of the fat books she’s read throughout the span of her life, books she remembers, fondly in some cases, less fondly but certainly memorably in others, those fat books that seemed important at the time.
