My second choice is an excellent, traditional-style review. Bonnie returns to a darker time, that of the black death, with The Great Mortality. It was a review that certainly made me want to read the book.

From Editor Gordon Hauptfleisch: 

Literary allusions are my Achilles' heel, but I know enough about my lazy Muses to know they usually need a jump start to get those valuable impulses primed and intuition flowing. In It's Time To Kill The Myth Of The Muse, Mark Schannon, as much as he perfectly articulates that mysterious "deep trust in my unconscious to lead me into surprising and wondrous realms that are as much as surprise to me as the reader," also gives equal weight to the conscious mind and its role in making sure "the paths taken by my unconscious aren't self-indulgent but actually drive the work."

TV/FILM

From Editor Joan Hunt:

Making the Rounds at General Hospital by Connie Phillips. Once again, Connie fills in all the gaps for this sporadic soap watcher. Not only does she hit the high points, she captures the subtle nuances that have made General Hospital my favorite soap of all time.

That's So Suite Life of Hannah Montana by CallmeMaddy. Maddy is proving to be one of my favorite reads on Blogcritics. I don't get to watch much of Disney's teen fare, but I can always count on Maddy for keeping me up to date and for letting me know how Disney's doing with their lineup.

CULTURE

No picks this week as the Culture Editor enjoys a vacation!

POLITICS

From Politics Editor Dave Nalle:

I Feel Sorry for Hitler - Too Bad He Wasn't Waging World War Two Today by Mark Schannon. Irreverant, but insightful, and it hasn't received the comments or recognition it deserves.

I'm Confused About - Attitudes Towards Bush by Mark Schannon. Expresses well what I think a lot of people are feeling and has generated some interesting and intelligent discussion.
