Books

It's not really novel, but "Why Do Only White People Get Abducted by Aliens?" is a good read about a young teacher's experiences at a nearby (to me) high school with a cameo reference of someone I know (she wasn't quite pleased). Kitty Genovese, a recent book on the infamous case, is decent, but too concerned with local/topical color (filling up paragraphs of a short book) and somewhat unsatisfactory though you learn a few new things. Unsurprisingly, the "thirty eight look on" bit was rather exaggerated. Ends with an "it happened like this."
