Comeback Specials

New York Times: According to a new book, once(-and-future?) governor of New York Eliot Spitzer so impressed a prostitute he hired that she read a biography of him.

CNet: While I'm not remotely interested in getting an iPad, these animated children's books (including ALICE IN WONDERLAND and some Dr. Seuss) are beautiful.

Chicago Sun-Times: The author of a tell-all book on Oprah is surprised that some people won't take her phone calls now. Also, the Sun-Times has an entire blog dedicated to Oprah news... I now feel 23 percent better about my life choices.

Washington Post: Every six months demands a good what-Obama-is-reading piece, this one studded with bits of trivia on other 20th-century presidents.

Associated Press: She's so excited, she's so excited, she's so... Elizabeth Berkley is writing a YA advice book.

The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt is one of my favorite books, and the second volume, Theodore Rex, is almost as good. I'm anxiously awaiting volume three.

I had no idea! That's awesome. The first two volumes are brilliant.
