{

using (XmlReader xmlReader = XmlReader.Create(xmlStream))

{

XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(catalog));

catalog deserializedStudents = serializer.Deserialize(xmlReader) as catalog;

foreach (var b in deserializedStudents.book )

{

Console.WriteLine("author : {0}", b.author);

Console.WriteLine("description : {0}", b.description);
