		<description><![CDATA[An author will often use a quest as a catalyst for the protagonist to realize something significant about him/herself.

		<description><![CDATA[Every once in a while, I run across a book I can&#8217;t decide if I enjoyed or not.  When this happens, this indecision is because I ask myself this question - &#8220;If I didn&#8217;t enjoy it, what are the reasons?&#8221;  The answer to this question has rarely been the same for any two books.  However, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Stories of redemption and human survival fascinate me to the nth degree. I enjoy stories of great epiphanies which lead to inner turmoil and a change in ideologies and one&#8217;s faith in humanity.  I love stories about the search for the truth and how that truth changes someone&#8217;s sense of self.
