  1. Word power

    Earlier this year, when Russian President Vladimir Putin proposed a 100-book required reading list for his compatriots, it provoked anxiety, rekindling memories of Soviet-era censorship.

  3. Sapphire talks about the difficult birth of 'The Kid'

    A vast national audience rooted for Precious, the heroine of the film of that name and of Sapphire's novel "Push," as she learned to read with a dedicated teacher's help. Profoundly abused, obese, barely literate and HIV-infected, Precious set about becoming a good mother and an educated woman.

    Orlando Theater Blog
    “I’m not bitter,” explains the title character in the comedy “The Understudy.” In fact, he explains it repeatedly, you know, in that way that makes you doubt the truthfulness of that statement. Harry (Josh Geoghagan) has...

  6. Talbot County treatment of lacrosse players is ridiculous

    The unbelievable turn of events pertaining to the Sun's editorial "Zero tolerance? Zero common sense" (May 10) is something so Kafkaesque that one would never believe it could happen in the good old U.S. of A. Franz Kafka's "The Trail" is a chilling...

  10. Chicagoland book club: 43 years after the big snow

    <strong> <a style="float: left;" href="http://featuresblogs.chicagotribune.com/.a/6a00d834518cc969e20134849e7335970c-pi"><img style="margin: 0px 5px 5px 0px; width: 345px; height: 228px;" title="Bookclub" src="http://featuresblogs.chicagotribune.com/.a/6a00d834518cc969e20134849e7335970c-800wi" border="0" alt="Bookclub" /></a> Things to know about our book club: </strong>Our book club began in Glenview during the big snow in 1967 when two mothers, snowed in with young children, decided to organize a neighborhood book club for much-needed intellectual stimulation. We started with six members and an ambitious reading list that included Honore de Balzac's &ldquo;Cousin Bette,&rdquo; Franz Kafka's &ldquo;The Trial,&rdquo; Thomas Mann's &ldquo;The Magic Mountain,&rdquo; James Joyce's &ldquo;A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man&rdquo; and Stendhal's &ldquo;The Red and the Black.&rdquo; We now have 15 members who live in the northern suburbs. Our daughters love books; two are founding members of a Chicago book club. In 2005 we organized a book drive for U.S. soldiers stationed in Afghanistan.
