...part of humanity that reads--that's still a goodly chunk, by the way--McEwan's new book is a major event. His last one, the bleakly magnificent Atonement, put him in the front rank of English-language novelists and became an international best seller--in the U.S. alone, there are 750,000 copies in print.

...insidious part is the sense of desperation. Shopping is fun, but last-minute shopping is a recipe for regret. In Be Honest--You're Not That into Him Either, which serves as a comeback to the obnoxious best seller, author Ian Kerner advises women to step off the dating StairMaster and stop hooking up with "meantimers" just so we feel as though we're in the game. Author Sasha Cagen has even coined the term quirkyalone (in her book of the same name) for a person who "prefers to be alone rather than date for the sake of being...
