I've asked six of the most renowned crime fiction critics in the country to weigh in with their thoughts on the state of the crime novel. I hope you find their responses as interesting as I did.

Amidst all the doom and gloom, I just want to take a moment to proclaim that this is quite possibly the most exciting time to be a reader in my lifetime.

How does the iPad pass muster for a writer? Can one write a novel on this thing? The keyboard is large enough that in writing this article, I only hit the wrong key two or three times.

Arianna's reading a new book for April -- the fifth pick of HuffPost Books.

There is no mistaking that the way we're working isn't working. Figuring out why this is so -- and what we can do about it -- is the animating idea behind The Way We're Working Isn't Working.

I've never really been able to imagine myself in a job that didn't have something to do with books, which is how I ended up as the HuffPost Books Intern.

My love affair with books is a long one. As a little girl growing up in Athens, I remember sending my friends home early from my fifth birthday party because all that celebrating was keeping me away from my books. Who needed friends and cake? I had my books! Since I was 21, there hasn't been a time when I wasn't researching or writing a book. Until now. So, instead of my signing another book contract, we are launching a Books section, in partnership with the New York Review of Books, where you'll find the latest book-related news and blog posts, book reviews, all sorts of special features, and, of course, articles from the New York Review of Books. So if you love books, reading, and good writing, please check out HuffPost Books.

When Arianna asked me to think about a Books section for The Huffington Post, I thought, why a new books section, why Huffington Post, why now?
