This Week's Staff Favorites: Volume 1
College Football:
I recently went to see Notre Dame play Stanford in football in South Bend, Indiana. It was a great game! ND won in overtime. ND is having an amazing season! I think two of my favorite parts of the day were walking through the beautiful campus to see all the trees turning to their autumn colors and watching the enthusiasm of the ND students/fans around me in the stadium as they were watching the game.

Homeland: The Complete First Season:
I’ve been trying to find a substitute since the series 24 ended, and I have finally found it!
Homeland has it all: political scandal, intrigue, CIA agents with mental disorders, misunderstood military officials and terrorist plots. It’s a great show, keeps you on the edge of your seat, and one that tests your understanding as well.

Author Ken Follett:
Anything by Ken Follett. It’s amazing the things he has written!

The American Reader: A Monthly Journal of Literature and Criticism:
The American Reader is a new print and digital literary journal that is directed at readers aged 21-35. (I happen to be in this age group, but I don’t think it matters.) There are four sections: Fiction & Poetry, Criticism, In Conversation, and This Day in Lettres, which are personal letters written by authors. I’ve enjoyed the short fiction along with interesting articles on everything from taxidermy to the Vice Presidential debate to car crashes.

Bloomberg Businessweek:
Bloomberg Businessweek is the happy marriage of the internet’s eclectic fizz and actual journalistic skill. The result is that the business world becomes a whimsical ride of surprise and intrigue. To wit, the current issue includes articles on the ways in which music benefits job performance, a new mind-reading app, the particulars of Argentina’s export shenanigans, and--alas--the entrepreneurial genius of Nickelback. It's available online and at the Library.
