The New New York Times Book Review	2004-02-04T11:01:01-05:00	/the-new-new-york-times-book-review/	reading

Hey there, true-believers! Welcome to the New New York Times Book Review! Or, as we like to call it, NYTBR eXtreme! We’re reviewing books to the max!

That’s right, gone are the days of stodgy book reviews of boring, fancy-pants, highbrow “literature”, enjoyed only by snooty bespectacled professors with suede elbow patches on their corduroy jackets! No sir, not no more! This is NYTBR Max!
