  • Read at Work

    Culture Buzz A website that simulates a Windows XP desktop and loads a selection of literary works disguised as technical PowerPoint presentations. This website is one of the coolest I’ve come across lately. Now I just need a site that lets me actually read a Tolstoy novel while pretending to read Gawker.

  • Netherland

    Culture Buzz Michiko Kakutani calls it “the wittiest, angriest, most exacting and most desolate work of fiction we’ve yet had about life in New York and London after the World Trade Center fell” in a New York Times book review. All the rave reviews mean this book will be appearing on a lot of summer reading lists. I’m intrigued by The Great Gatsby-like romantic male friendship that the novel is centered around.

  • Norman Mailer’s Sex Life

    Culture Buzz For an undisclosed amount, Harvard University purchased sordid details of Norman Mailer’s sex life from his former mistress. In an era when homemade porno is a crucial element in achieving undeserved stardom, news of an ideologue’s indecencies recorded on actual paper is a welcome change. Stay sexy, Norm, wherever you are.

  • Cheer!

    Sports Buzz A book by former Jane contributor Kate Torgovnick that follows three elite college cheerleading teams for a grueling competition season. It explores the dark side of cheerleading that never gets touched upon in Bring It On. We could see it having the Friday Night Lights effect - riveting even if you don’t really care about cheerleading or sports in general.
