What type of reaction have you received so far about the book? Well its certainly been mixed. The Guardian in England had the serial rights to the book so they ran four extracts in the paper and then they commissioned a bunch of people on different ends of the political spectrum to respond to different sections of the book. And then they've been debating it wildly online. But the conclusion was: "Wow, you either love her or hate her." Not much neutrality. And you know, in theory, I wrote the book to help spark a debate and certainly...
Last Thursday, the Coop called the cops on three undergraduates who were busily recording ISBNs, or book serial numbers, for Crimsonreading.com, a student-run Web site that allows visitors to compare textbook prices between the pricey Coop and its cheaper, web-based competitors like Amazon.com.

But one chess player saw a different kind of challenge in the board: each square prescribed a murder he had to carry out, and the rival he sought to beat was none other than the most prolific serial killer in modern history...

(IOP nerds might even recognize former fellow Barbara Bodine as a commentator.) And on the small screen, characters like Dr. House and a good-hearted serial killer named Dexter are compelling examples of what good acting and writing can produce...
...Prisoner told serial stories before Hill Street, and The Fugitive hung a years-long chase on its otherwise self-contained episodes. But Steven Bochco's cop drama popularized serialized story arcs by proving that audiences would have the patience to stick with a story longer than 60 minutes. Hill Street demonstrated that a TV show could make a virtue of messiness with plots that didn't resolve neatly (or sometimes at all) and heroes who crossed ethical lines. Through conflicted Captain Furillo, abrasive Buntz and biting-prone Belker, Hill Street showed us imperfect cops delivering imperfect justice in an imperfect...
