  1. First editions: A rare present

    Never mind the Morlocks. For a book lover, the most chilling scene in the 1960 screen adaptation of "The Time Machine" is the one in which the Time Traveler is taken to the decrepit library of the Eloi race. "I can learn all I want about you from books," he exults. But when he picks up one of the neglected tomes, it crumbles to dust in his hands. "Yes," he states ruefully, "they do tell me all about you."

  2. Memories that bind

    Books often play a big role in people's holiday memories. Some of us receive a gift book that becomes a cherished memento or starts us on a lifelong love of reading. Or a family reads a certain book each year as part of their holiday traditions. We asked you to share some of these memories with us, and so many of you responded that we won't be able to publish everything. What follows is an edited sampling of your heartfelt comments. Thank you for gifting us with your memories.

  5. Journalism as fiction, fiction as journalism. The Capote dictum

    Liz Smith
    "THE THING is there are people who are writing phony romans a clef about people they never knew or met. Like Jackie Susann. If you are writing about people you actually know, then it's different. But to take Mrs. Onassis or Lee Radziwill or me, like...

  6. In 'Hitchcock' and 'Lincoln,' two icons, divergently portrayed

    One man liberated America from the scourge of slavery. The other freed the country of its preconceptions about cinema and entertainment.
    One man liberated America from the scourge of slavery. The other freed the country of its preconceptions about cinema and entertainment. OK, so there's no comparing the moral achievements of Abraham Lincoln and Alfred Hitchcock. But both men followed...

  7. NaNoWriMo puts a novel idea to the test

    That's not writing, that's typing. Truman Capote said that about Jack Kerouac's &ldquo;On the Road,&rdquo; and right now, I'd be happy with typing. I could do worse. Heck, I'm already doing worse. My novel is a pathetic mess. I've been hearing about NaNoWriMo &mdash; National Novel Writing Month &mdash; for a few years. Every November, thousands of aspiring novelists around the world &mdash; this year, about 300,000 of them &mdash; write a 50,000-word novel from beginning to end in 30 days. What a joke, right? A bunch of hacks making trash.

  8. Warts and all: Real stories of real people can be tough to tell

    You should brace yourself for the Joe Paterno Story. Hollywood is quiet now, if not so much in deference to the convicted pedophile Jerry Sandusky's victims as to the fear of being perceived as premature and insensitive. But you can be sure they're all quietly thinking about it. The story of the great, powerful, bookish and surely hubristic Penn State football coach, seemingly brought down in his twilight years by a fatal decision to put the burnishing of his own mythology over the protection of innocents, is just too close to Greek tragedy to be resisted. One can even anticipate the final moments, as his statue is removed from the front of Beaver Stadium by jackhammers.

  9. Dorothy Parker's lingering ghost

    For my 14th birthday she had presented me with a book on scandals of the Amish, which I cherished; for my 15th, an oversized tub of Brussels sprouts wrapped in lingerie, which I hid under my bed. When I turned 16 &mdash; that day when one is supposed to be festooned with pink ribbons and sugary icing flowers &mdash; Arden arrived at my door with a thick, unwrapped paperback: "The Viking Portable Dorothy Parker." The cover intrigued me: a black-and-white photo of a pretty, short-haired woman with dark eyes, looking broodingly, longingly, off into the distance. "Dorothy's our people," Arden said with assurance. I nodded. We weren't really the sweet 16 type.

  10. Tavi talks about the new Rookie book and her Los Angeles visit

    At the age of 15, fashion blogger Tavi Gevinson noticed that there wasn&rsquo;t a magazine that tapped into the real, honest, substantial, and oftentimes comedic, experiences that come with being a teenage girl. So, she set out to change that &mdash; creating the online publication <a href="http://rookiemag.com">Rookie Magazine</a>. While it may have seemed like an overwhelming task for any teenager to tackle, Tavi already knew what it took to be on the frontline of a creative endeavor (she started her fashion blog at age 11 and was featured in Teen Vogue, French Vogue and The New York Times Magazine).

  12. Horror movies: Halloween's sweet spot

    I do like horror movies ¿ just not the kind with umpteen sequels
    Countdown to Halloween: five days. I don't like wearing costumes, I'm not into haunted houses, candy corn is too sweet, and I prefer pumpkin pie to pumpkin carvings. But I do like horror movies — just not the kind with umpteen sequels. I saw...
