Look, when you're a D-list literary celebrity like me, you don't have time for silly pursuits like making lists of songs for people. Beard grooming alone takes up enough of my time, and this week I'm supervising the modification of my waterfall-bubinga [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The latest stand-alone novel by Alexander McCall Smith is a slight departure from his usual fare. It lacks the charm and lightness of his other offerings but gives, instead, a truly heartfelt dissertation on love.  Melancholy, poignant, and bittersweet, Trains and Lovers has four tales of romance &#8212; warts and all. Four strangers take a long train ride, sharing [...]]]></description>
