...During the writing of TIME.comix, graphic novels have gone from a publishing backwater to being the only book category displaying any growth at all. Last year saw $330 million in sales, up 12% from 2005, according ICV2, a website dedicated to covering the market. Translated Japanese manga, particularly the ones aimed at girls, accounts for much of this growth, a phenomenon that I am pleased to say I wrote about for Time far before any other major media outlet. Now virtually all the major print and online media that cover books have at least some sort of graphic novel coverage...
...tenet of a functioning capitalist economy. Last year, conservative voices had enough residual clout to get the legislation dropped from consideration. This year, in an evident move to quash dissent, all discussion of the property law was banned. When the respected weekly Caijing defied the ban and drafted a cover story on the law, authorities forced the magazine to drop the story at the last minute.

By giving up 16 out of 26 beds for young...
...combination of the two only makes me think about roaches infesting a decaying body. A pleasant lunch read, I’m sure. THEN WE CAME TO THE END by Joshua Ferris I wanted to run as soon as I saw this book. Yellow post-it notes clutter the cover. Post-its mean reminders of things that need to be done. And for an obsessive-compulsive-checklist-maker like me, seeing this book cover was enough to make me hyperventilate. Death by post-its, anyone? SHOPAHOLIC & BABY by Sophie Kinsella I literally cringed when I saw this book. Haven?...
