		<description><![CDATA[If Schadenfreude denotes the relishing of another&#8217;s pain, then &#8211; according to author Jennifer Weiner &#8211; Franzenfreude is &#8220;taking pain in the multiple and copious reviews being showered on Jonathan Franzen.&#8221; While this glut of attention may be irking other deserving authors, the consensus of glowing reviewers everywhere seems to be that Franzen&#8217;s new novel Freedom is a masterpiece, even earning [...]]]></description>

		<title>101 Places Not to Visit</title>
		<description><![CDATA[NPR has a very amusing article about Catherine Price&#8217;s book 101 Places Not to See Before You Die. Among the most praiseworthy &#8212; for their utter inappropriateness as travel destionations &#8212; are: Beijing&#8217;s Museum of Tap Water, Montana&#8217;s &#8220;Testicle Festival,&#8221; and a former Latvian prison which has, bizarrely, been converted into an exclusive hotel in which [...]]]></description>
