For those of you who still read books!

Hi,

I know there are a few of you out there!

This past Sunday La Salle Professor Richard Di Dio published his 20th review for the Philadelphia Inquirer. (It could be even more, as on two occasions he has critiqued two books ini one review; being conservative, I count those each as one review). Di Dio has examined books such as biographies of Albert Einsten, a memoir on Jimi Hendrix, a chronicle of one man's journey to wash dishes in all 50 states and (my favorite) the story of how Monty Python became Monty Python.

Close behind Di Dio is Dr. John Rossi, who's done 16 reviews, writing about books on baseball, WWI and WWII and a forthcoming biography of Lawrence of Arabia.

For Star Power, English Professor Judith Mussser has reviewed fiction/poetry for the paper in works by Philip Roth, Louise Erdrich, Nikki Giovani, Joyce Carol Oates and Kazuo Ishiguro.
