This Week in the Book Section

Posted by on Sun, Dec 28, 2008 at 12:19 PM

imageDB.jpgThis week in the book section, I go over my regrets for 2008. Here are a few:

• Paul Constant regrets reading the following books: How Starbucks Saved My Life, The Film Club, Love Junkie, anything by Leon Uris and Herman Wouk, and just about every mainstream superhero comic book.

• In a piece about science-fiction book awards, Paul Constant claimed that the novel Light, which was released in 2006, was writer M. John Harrison's first novel. Harrison has been writing for four decades; his first novel is older than Paul Constant. Paul Constant doesn't know what the fuck is wrong with Paul Constant.

There's much more, including the books I regret not talking enough about, what I will regret if you don't do in the next two weeks, two brushes with literary idols, and the escalation of a petty feud. I hope you'll check it out.
