Man Steals Books to Find Meaning of Life, and Other News
By

On the Shelf
“Everyone on earth has one good book in them,” and other
bad advice
for aspiring writers.
A young man who
stole eight hundred books
from a single store, in search of the meaning of life, says, “I couldn’t comprehend the meaning of life … I was hoping to find the answer by reading those books.”
John Grisham novels
were banned at Guantanamo Bay, which greatly pleased John Grisham.
A comprehensive
history of the limerick
is being penned, appropriately enough, by the Limerick Writers Centre.
The Atlantic Books
releases a history of Mark Twain writings from the magazine archives.
