		<description><![CDATA[Dear Dystel and Goderich Literary Management,&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I have a question I hope you will be able to answer. Is it possible for a literary agent to reject a writer&#039;s query because he/she simply has no interest in the writer&#039;s genre or do agents keep an open mind?&lt;br/&gt; I thank you for taking the time to read this. Take Care. May you find your light.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;XOXOXOXO,&lt;br/&gt;Cocaine Princess]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Kazuo Ishiguro&#039;s &#039;Remains of the Day&#039; is my gold standard, with its meticulous, heartbreakingly beautiful prose. And I love Barbara Kingsolver&#039;s  &#039;Bean Trees&#039; and &#039;Pigs in Heaven;&#039; I found her characters wonderfully believable and likeable.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I loved Wally Lamb&#039;s &#039;I Know This Much is True&#039; and &#039;She&#039;s Come Undone.&#039; Though these books deal with depressing subjects, the writing is so compelling and compassionate, that the reader doesn&#039;t end up feeling miserable. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;As for Bill Bryson, I&#039;ve read &#039;Neither Here nor There&#039; three times now. After reading it twice, I promised it to a colleague at work. On the train, I started reading it again and I laughed so hard at the scene with the Norwegian on the train that I almost created a scene. When I got to the office I had to tell my colleague I&#039;d bring it in the next day. He expressed surprise, as I&#039;d told him I&#039;d read it twice. Come to think of it, I&#039;m probably ready to read it again. I&#039;ve read all his other books too, but only once or twice each.]]></description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Kazuo Ishiguro&#8217;s &#8216;Remains of the Day&#8217; is my gold standard, with its meticulous, heartbreakingly beautiful prose. And I love Barbara Kingsolver&#8217;s  &#8216;Bean Trees&#8217; and &#8216;Pigs in Heaven;&#8217; I found her characters wonderfully believable and likeable.</p>
<p>I loved Wally Lamb&#8217;s &#8216;I Know This Much is True&#8217; and &#8216;She&#8217;s Come Undone.&#8217; Though these books deal with depressing subjects, the writing is so compelling and compassionate, that the reader doesn&#8217;t end up feeling miserable. </p>
<p>As for Bill Bryson, I&#8217;ve read &#8216;Neither Here nor There&#8217; three times now. After reading it twice, I promised it to a colleague at work. On the train, I started reading it again and I laughed so hard at the scene with the Norwegian on the train that I almost created a scene. When I got to the office I had to tell my colleague I&#8217;d bring it in the next day. He expressed surprise, as I&#8217;d told him I&#8217;d read it twice. Come to think of it, I&#8217;m probably ready to read it again. I&#8217;ve read all his other books too, but only once or twice each.</p>
