It was in the middle of sixth grade when I started to question the nature of my feelings toward other boys.
I always looked at girls as friends, nothing more, nothing less. I would often have thoughts that seemed strange about boys. I would envision being with them, like the boys and girls in the halls holding hands and kissing, not wanting to break apart from each other.
For the fi...

o far, movie audiences have been more naughty than nice in rejecting some of the summer's biggest no-brainers, like "Stealth" and "Kingdom of Heaven." If Santa doesn't pull something big out of his sack by Dec. 25, this could be a bleak winter for the busy elves on the West Coast.
Dominating the holiday schedule - at 50 feet high, in every sense of the word - is "King Kong" (Dec. 14), P...

Madonna’s new CD drops this week and it feels like old times. In fact, there’s such a palpable vibe that the release of Confessions on a Dance Floor has all the festive energy of an event. It feels familiar and celebratory. It feels like—go ahead and gag now because you knew this was coming—a holiday, albeit one we haven’t observed in a long time.
In the...

It was October. The eastern part of the city was engulfed in drizzle every morning. Trees, roofs and streets were covered with a perpetual grey vapour. On a day just like this, all my thoughts and feelings felt jumbled and strange. Finishing my paper early, I craved something hot to eat. When I stepped out of the library, I found Megumi standing under the overhang nearby. Trembling a bit, I wat...

A disturbing case, a creepy locale and a plucky detective make for a compelling, if flawed, new mystery from British author Scarlett Thomas.
A girl is found, presumably a suicide, though police say it's more likely she was the victim of foul play. But police in the small English seaside town of Torquay are having trouble figuring out who the beautiful 18-year-old is. The suicide note is ...

I so admire Richard Wollheim's memoir of his childhood, Germs, that it feels like a book written for me. I mean that in two ways. I mean both that I felt, while reading Germs, as if I were Richard Wollheim's ideal reader but also, and more remarkably, as if he were speaking directly to me. I was engaged, in other words, as a reader (an admirer of Wollheim's exquisite style) and as a human be...
