Book
Drawing a ring around the world
Stories can whisper in a small ear, This is what you might do someday. This is the kind of courage you can have, the kind of hero you can be. Not long ago, neuroscientists proved what those of them who believe in stories already knew reading good literature actually, physically, extends them. It's the closest they can get to living another's experience. The same synapses fire, the same parts of the brains light up as if they really were solving that mystery, scaling that wall, sharing that kiss. The whoop of possibility, the heart-thump of hope -- every child deserves this. They'll never stop fretting over the things they can't give to children. But they can offer something many of them don't even know they want and need -- stories about themselves, and about who they might become. Together they can write and share the books that make today better, and tomorrow boundless.

Spencer is creating a mysterious museum under GG's porch and is never around to play. And Spencer's mom is going to have a baby!

Book
A heartfelt collection from Jeffrey Eugenides
The editor reaches back to the 19th century for Guy de Maupassant's \"Mouche,\" a dark romp that leaves off where \"Three Men and a Baby\" takes up. Anton Chekhov's \"Lady With the Little Dog\" is here, too, its tantalizingly inconclusive ending contrasting nicely with the final page of William Trevor's \"Lovers of Their Time,\" whose couple admits defeat, yet ever after hears the music that played in the background of their trysts. The walks by the sea, the smokes in bed, the rainy nights, the moon, the moon! It spills its fickle light over China, the setting of Eileen Chang's exquisitely observed \"Red Rose, White Rose,\" a look at the painful conflict between duty and self-fulfillment. Some juxtapositions jar the same way finding a lover's hair clotting the sink can dull romance. One of the greatest stories of all time, James Joyce's all-encompassing \"The Dead,\" is followed by the bludgeoning misery of Denis Johnson's \"Dirty Wedding,\" a story about love in the way bulimia is about food.
