    When, at long last, will people understand that the left is boring? The question came to mind as I was dipping in and out of Oliver Stone's miasmic 700-plus-page tome. I'll never read the whole thing, and not because it's a left-wing screed full of...

  5. A tale of two Hugos: Hugo Chavez and the 'Les Miserables' effect

    Hugo Chavez, the Venezuelan president who died Tuesday, was an avid reader.&nbsp; "Read, read, read, read," he said in a speech in 2009. "That should be our slogan every day."
    Hugo Chavez, the Venezuelan president who died Tuesday, was an avid reader.  "Read, read, read, read," he said in a speech in 2009. "That should be our slogan every day." It turns out that his political position might be attributed (at least in part) to...

  10. Why you should read genre books

    I'm usually reading four or five books at a time. At the moment, I'm in the middle of Husain Haddawy's enchanting translation of &ldquo;The Arabian Nights&rdquo; (forget Cervantes and Sterne &mdash; this is where postmodernism begins); Jean-Luc Marion's anti-ontotheological &ldquo;God without Being&rdquo;; Guy Davenport's essays; a few books of poems I switch among; and Daniel O'Malley's &ldquo;The Rook.&rdquo;

  11. What's Behind the War on Big Bird?

    It was such a weird, seemingly off-the-cuff remark by Mitt Romney in the first debate: that of all the items in the budget an axe-wielding privatizing plutocratic president could hack away at, he pointed to a children&rsquo;s television show and the debate moderator, Jim Lehrer (who certainly deserves to be fired from something).

  12. The long hike from an Iranian prison to home

    Two years ago, Californian and citizen of the world Sarah Shourd was released from prison in Iran after an intense international campaign to free her. A bit more than a year later, that effort, including pressure from the State Department, Oman (the "Switzerland of the Middle East") and even Iraq and Venezuela, also won the release of Shourd's then-fiance, Shane Bauer, and their friend, Josh Fattal. The three Americans had been hiking in 2009 in Iraqi Kurdistan when they were snatched at the Iranian border and accused of spying. Ever since, in jail and out, they've been in the world's spotlight. They'll tell their story in a book next year &mdash; and here, as Shourd marks her second anniversary of freedom.
