		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday I went to Cody&#8217;s, not to buy a particular book, but to renew myself, to wander around and discover new authors, to drink up the non-commercial atmosphere of a bookstore that is a national treasure for lovers of words.&#160; Strangely, even though it was the middle of the day, the store was closed.&#160; There [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By Adam Daum
Two books that had a profound impact on me as a teenage boy were Catcher in the Rye and This Boy&#8217;s Life.&#160; I was drawn to them because they echoed my own experience and exemplified masterful craftsmanship in literature.&#160;&#160; Both inspired my love for reading, and consequently, writing.&#160; JD Salinger, author of Catcher [...]]]></description>

A baffled liquor store owner had left his cash register to investigate.&#160; He was standing on the sidewalk outside his store, hands on his hips, watching dozens of people march in a kind of organized chaos up and down Valencia Street in San Francisco. 
As I walked by him, he asked, &#8220;where are [...]]]></description>

Retired four-star general Wesley Clark probably felt like giving an order to several audience members to sit down and shut up.&#160; He did not, of course, surrender to this understandable temptation.&#160; Clark is not only a military man, but an experienced politician and diplomat as well.&#160; At Book Passage last Thursday night to [...]]]></description>
