The Hedonist: World Travel Guide
Dr. Brett Tate

Professional Bachelor Publishing, LLC, 2005

Yes Yes YES!
Wake up guys. Getting plastered and watching flabby drunk chicks flashing and screaming "WooHOOO" is a total waste of time and money. Lake Havasu, Daytona Beach; it's embarrassing looking back on the whole nonsense. For the best bachelor vacations available ...

The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao
Junot Díaz

Riverhead Hardcover, 2007

Navigating in Two Worlds
The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao is the best piece of literature I've come across in the last year or so. Usually novels or stories from Latino authors --characters, ambiance, and locations --feel like an ardous path toward fitting in, socially or culturally. In ...

Havana Nocturne

HarperCollins e-books, 2008

In modern-day Havana, the remnants of the glamorous past are everywhere -- the old hotel-casinos, vintage American cars, and flickering neon signs speak of a bygone era that is widely familiar and often romanticized, but little understood. In Havana Nocturne , T. J. English offers a riveting, multifaceted true tale of organized crime, political ...

Knopf, 2008

We came so close...
Like most Americans (or maybe not...), I knew that the Cuban Missile Crisis was a dangerous time in the history of our planet. But until I read One Minute to Midnight: Kennedy, Khrushchev, and Castro on the Brink of Nuclear War by Michael Dobbs, I don't think I fully ...
  
  











  



  
Where Is Joe Merchant? A Novel Tale

An Annual Ritual
I've had this book for many, many years. It's become an annual ritual - a rite of passage for the Summer - to read it at the beach. Preferably with a Boat Drink in hand. Thanks Jimmy...

Wide Sargasso Sea: A Novel (Norton Paperback Fiction)
Jean Rhys

W. W. Norton, 1992

The horror... the horror... Wide Sargasso Sea is a searing indictment
Jean Rhys' Wide Sargasso Sea is a dreamlike feverish novel awash in passion and trauma. Forget for a moment that it's a sequel to "Jane Eyre" or that it is a seminal text in Feminism and Colonialist studies. Simply as a story of trauma and madness executed in a modern ...
  
  











  



  
The Art of Pirates of the Caribbean

Disney Editions, 2007

Grotesquery on the High Seas
This is a treasure-trove of fantastic (and often quite grotesque!) drawings, paintings, digital artworks, and more from the creative people that made the "Pirates" movies. It's a hefty book and makes for a great conversation piece on the coffee table.
