How to obtain a perfect SAT score

Publishers Weekly reports some details about Syrie James's new book, The Secret Diaries of Charlotte Brontë:

AVON (from Harper-Collins)
Secret Diaries of Charlotte Brontë (January, $13.95) by Syrie James reveals the passionate soul of Jane Eyre 's author. 40,000 first printing.

The East African (Uganda) has an article on the internet (it is rather a pre Web 2.0 kind of article preaching about the dangers of too much information) which the professional web surfers will find all too familiar:

It starts with the innocent “googling” of such big topics as Imperialism, Loss, Memory and Art. Soon you are on Rudyard Kipling and Blues music, then to Jungle Book and animation. You are attracted by the personality of Sher Khan, the tiger, but rather than reading the link on Wikipedia, you are seduced by that drawing of Mowgli and the Tiger done by Rudyard’s father, John Lockwood Kipling. Really, was Rudyard’s dad that good an artist? You open a window on him, then recall that Emily Bronte’s novel, Heathcliff, has a Lockwood in it. (David Kaiza)

The Michigan Daily talks about summer reading. The description of The Time Travelers's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger closes with this gratuitous and quite absurd comment:

The novel is touching without being too sappy, tragic while somehow uplifting and never irritating for its strange, sci-fi premise. And, honestly, it's a lot less trouble than Charlotte Bronte. (Ben Vanwagoner)

The Telegraph & Argus publishes an article about Rubina Khan founder of Yarn Spinners Tours which is expanding its business:

Rubina is adding new tours to her regular programme.
She recently successfully organised her first bus tour based on literary shrine Haworth for a group of Bronte enthusiasts from Ireland. (Chris Holland)

The Orange County Register interviews Micca Hecht, who was able to get a perfect SAT score and offers her advice:

I read a lot of books and write down words that I don't know and look them up. In context, they stick a lot better. Out of the books I read, Jane Eyre had the most SAT words. My favorite study guide was the Barron's SAT workbooks which I used to work on speed. Speed is really important.

Elizabeth Gregory writes on Suite101 on Nelly Dean's realiability as a storyteller in an article worth reading. Kate reads books talks about discussing The Tenant of Wildfell Hall at her book club and Les livres chez Miss Cece reviews Jane Eyre in French.
