In the latest edition of the DoubleX Gabfest, Emily Bazelon, Hanna Rosin, and Slate's Jack Shafer talk about the balloon boy hoax [2], Meghan McCain's Twitter photo [3], and Where the Wild Things Are [4].

Hanna's picks for what to download: The Penderwicks, or The Penderwicks on Gardam Street.

This week over coffee, Hanna's going to be talking about Barbara Ehrenreich's book Bright-Sided [10], which we reviewed on DoubleX [11] last week. Emily will be talking about Hanna and Jessica Grose's non-complaining project [12]. And Jack will be discussing Ken Auletta's Googled [13], the must-read book about everyone's favorite search engine.
