...Dogs of Babel (Little, Brown; 264 pages) to The Lovely Bones--but it is tempting. Both are by women, both first-time novelists, both from the same publisher. The Dogs of Babel arrives almost exactly a year after The Lovely Bones and with some of the same buzz--both scored Anna Quindlen's coveted endorsement, for example. But while The Dogs of Babel has many of the virtues of its predecessor and will no doubt please many of the same readers, it won't please them quite as much...

"People want big chrome one week, silver the next," Don Sabino says of the 10,000 customers at his Rent-A-Wheel chain in the southwestern U.S. But in the oversexed world...
...focus groups are gone, the buzz has abated, the press has moved on to hyping The Hulk. You can come out now. You can confess that you hated The Matrix Reloaded. You hated Morpheus' speechifying, winced at the smarmy Merovingian and at the film's truncated ending. As for Zion, if they'd spent one more minute on that faux full-moon party, you were going to start a little Burly Brawl of your...
