J. Howard Rosier: I didnt read this editorial, but as a working Starbucks barista I would have to agree that its bullshit. But whats more laughable than the notion that Starbucks was once a shrine to coffee as opposed to being merely competent, is the Tribunes editorial page itself, which used to be respectable but rarely posts anything
lee: Something else to chew on would be Ursula LeGuin's essay "Staying Awake" in the February 2008 Harpers (unfortunately, it's locked away for online subscribers only). In it, she touches on this supposed decline of reading, arguing that readers have always been in the minority and that in the course of human history reading for pleasure
Mairead Case: Something else to chew on: book trailers. Video killed the radio star.
kelly: next: starbucks will take over barnes & noble to become a mega-megaconglomerate bookstore-coffeeshop-culturepeddler. reading tribune comments makes me crazed, but i do it anyway. i'm wondering how long before they yank them completely.
Gretchen: This project is heinous, just like that annoyingly pompous, grammar-correcting friend (heh, that friend was me for about 6 months during undergrad, till I wised up). If I was one of the people they deigned to correct, I'd probably use the word "audacity" and then step on their toes. Also, though I've never said this

Chicago’s own Elizabeth Crane has a new book of short stories out from Akashic, You Must Be This Happy to Enter. The Village Voice shows it some love. (Tip from Shoot the Messinger.)

For my part, I am eager to polish off the bleak if well-written novel I’m currently reading (Revolutionary Road, if anyone cares) and move on to Crane’s newest, which I’m certain will be much more inspiring and uplifting to me right now. Just sayin’.

Also: The release party for the book is this week: Thurs, Feb. 7, 7 p.m., at Quimby’s (1854 W. North Ave.)
