...bittersweet, perfectly observed story of Lee, a quiet Midwestern girl who tries, with decidedly mixed results, to fit in at a breathtakingly preppy Eastern private school. To the surprise of many, not least its publisher and its author, Prep spent nine weeks on the New York Times best-seller list. Barely 1 1/2 years later, Sittenfeld, 30, put out a new novel: The Man of My Dreams. If you're wondering how she managed to produce it so rapidly, it turns out she wrote most of Man of My Dreams at the same time as Prep - "There came this point...
...aura of pop culture, talent and exclusivity make manga artists like rock stars in Japan, and manga creator Natsuki Takaya can now boast of a new generation of devotees worldwide.

Luckily, he had stepped out of the vehicle to negotiate with the seller; he got away with minor shrapnel wounds. One tiny shard ripped into his shirt pocket in a direct line to his heart. The shrapnel arrowed through a thick wad of Iraqi currency and some loose paper and was finally stopped by his plastic ID card. "At last, I can say money...
...unveiled new models in its multimedia XPS line. The units range from a $3,500 desktop-notebook hybrid with a 20-in. screen and a remote, to a $2,270 gaming desktop with a swanky scarlet-and-gray exterior and high-end specs. Its purchase of Alienware, a leading seller of game computers, will give Dell cachet in that segment. Parra says Dell's stores give consumers a chance to see its multimedia PCs and laptops in a home environment, paired with some of Dell's other consumer goods like its flat-screen TV sets. The company expects to open...
