Vogue Picks Best Books of 2011: Includes Anne Roiphe’s Art and Madness
“The greatest book about 1950s literary circles since Joyce Johnson’s Minor Characters, Anne Roiphe’s Art and Madness recalls the novelist’s lost years of Paris Review parties and late nights at Elaine’s, years in which she set aside her own ambitions to become a handmaiden of sorts to male artistic genius—at tremendous personal cost.”

Meet Mark Titus, the record setter for most wins in a 4-year stretch than any other Ohio State basketball player in history…
In 2006, Mark Titus arrived on Ohio State’s campus as a former high school basketball player who aspired to be an orthopedic surgeon. Somehow, he was added to the elite Buckeye basketball team, given a scholarship, and ended up playing alongside seven future NBA players on his way to setting the most individual career wins for a 4-year player in Ohio State history. In those four years, he scored a grand total of nine–yes, nine–points.
An unforgettable video of Mark is after the jump.

A Berner and a Fifth of Scotch, Shaken Not Stirred Please!
Gloria and Martin’s marriage is in trouble, so they get a dog. Enter the ring Hola! Charming, adorable, happy-go-lucky, and very high-strung, Hola means well—she REALLY does—but lacks any sort of guidance. Soon enough, starved of any sort of discipline and attention, she begins to do what any child in a troubled marriage does—act out!
“Hola, surprise, surprise, grows enormous, while also growing out of control, ignoring commands, sprawling, immovable, across the bed. Add to this rowdy mix the fact that Kihn drinks way too much and that his wife, Gloria, is on the verge of leaving him, and you have a recipe for a surefire heartbreaking bestseller along the lines of Marley and Me.”—Laurie Hertzel, Minneapolis Star-Tribune
