orangerfulSmartPop Books are my crack. Seriously, I'm a librarian, I do not need to buy these books. I could just make the library buy them, check them out, then return them. But I really do love all the Smart Pop books I have. Because even if I don't agree with every essay inside them, they make great talking pieces.
I was playing around in LibraryThing/Shelfari and discovered a few new titles coming out that I had to add to my Amazon wishlist --
The Psychology of Harry Potter -- written before book 7 was released, but does it really matter? There's a preview up, if you want to peruse the chapter titles and read the introduction. (Also, if you have not read 'Mapping the World of Harry Potter', you should pick it up. I really enjoyed it!)
Neptune Noir -- I knew this one was out, but I'm trying to hold out until Xmas for it. Veronica Mars books are so few (in fact...this is it!) so I must have it!
House Unauthorized -- for some reason, not listed on the Smart Pop site, though it's up on Amazon for pre-order. Mmmm, so much to pick apart in House, you know this will be fun! I hope there's a chapter on snark!
Serenity Found -- a "sequel" to 'Finding Serenity', the first Firefly Smart Pop book, written before the movie was released. Joss writes the preface! I must have it!
Batman Unauthorized -- 'Man from Krypton' was a whole lot of fun to read, so I'm excited about what the authors have chosen to say about the Dark Knight. This isn't supposed to come out until next year (to coincide with the movie release) but I'll put it on my wish list now.
Psychology of Joss Whedon -- It's about Joss. It's non-fiction. I have to have it!!!
Existential Joss Whedon -- Okay, not a Smart Pop, but again with the MUST HAVE! This is the only thing I'm really hardcore about collecting, Pop culture studies of Joss and his works. I just love it all.
