101 Book Project #3 - A Death in the Family by James Agee
A Death in the Family, by James Agee, takes place in Knoxville, Tennessee, during the summer of 1915. It chronicles the events surrounding the Follet family, a low-middle class white family of four who does their best to make ends meet until death unexpectedly shatters their world. The novel won the Pulitzer Prize in 1958, and stands as one of the best examples of American autobiographical fiction.

As evidenced in my holiday TV sneak peek, this week's episode of Grey's Anatomy puts the doctors on a fast track that starts on Thanksgiving eve and runs through New Year's Eve. As we all know by now, the Seattle Grace surgeons aren't always big on merriment, but the holidays are always the perfect time to bring out the truth in feelings and relationships.
Meredith bonds with the Chief while Mark learns that he has a teenage daughter.

Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and Taylor Lautner may be dominating the promotional circuit right now, but they're not the only cast members with something to say about New Moon. I had the opportunity to chat with the co-stars, aka Emmett and Alice Cullen, during their recent stop over in SF. They chatted about their characters, the vampire craze, and what it's like to be a "Twilight celebrity."
