These are the three books that I’m reading now.<\/p>\n

  1. How to Be a Villain: Evil Laughs, Secret Lairs, Master Plans, And More!!! <\/em>by Neil Zawacki: I found this in the humor section at the library’s used book store. I was in the mood for some light-hearted reading, and it sounded like it would fit the bill. So far it’s consistently humorous, if not quite laugh-out-loud funny.<\/li>\n
  2. Imagine: How Creativity Works <\/em>by Jonah Lehrer: I noticed this book at the library as I was browsing the nonfiction section for some potential puzzle themes. It sounded interesting. I didn’t know then that the author had been accused of plagiarism and other literary no-nos. I’m about halfway through the book and will probably keep reading, though perhaps with a more critical eye.<\/li>\n
  3. Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close <\/em>by Jonathan Safran Foer: The first few pages of this book really pulled me in. I admire Foer’s imagination. The book is worth reading just for some of the main character’s inventions, like the ambulance with a device that can detect your loved ones nearby and flash messages to them stating the severity of your injury (like “IT’S NOTHING MAJOR!” or “GOODBYE! I LOVE YOU!”).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
