		<description><![CDATA[Every Tuesday, I like to share a learning tidbit on literature. Today, Gabriel Garcia Marquez&#8217;s greatest work  (in my humble opinion)  100 Years of Solitude struck me as a good choice. His epic novel follows the complete lineage of one family in a poetic and touching way. His word choice is descriptive, eloquent, and mixes [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Thanks to Stanley Kubrick, every time I see a pair of red heart-shaped sunglasses I think of Lolita. I&#8217;ll admit I haven&#8217;t seen the movie (it&#8217;s on my list though), but I have read the book. At least I get a point for that, most times it&#8217;s the other way around. I&#8217;m more familiar with [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It seems if a book is touted as a great classic, then it shall be made into a movie. Beowulf is no different, and if you aren&#8217;t familiar with this English literature, then you probably recognize it from the 2007 movie version which starred Angelina Jolie. I haven&#8217;t seen the movie, but I have read [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Have you ever wondered where the phrase &#8220;It&#8217;s a Catch-22&#8243; came from? Most likely you are aware it was termed by American author Joesph Heller in his book Catch-22 (1961), and that it refers to a no-win situation. And the reasoning for the number 22? There is none &#8211; other than it sounded the nicest [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Most likely, you have read this book at some point in your high school education. The Great Gatsby (1925) is considered one of F. Scott Fitzgerald&#8217;s greatest works if not one the greatest American novels of all time. We&#8217;re all familiar with the title, but can you actually remember the storyline? If you&#8217;re like me, [...]]]></description>
