Chelsea Handler
Bloomsbury USA, 2005
Laugh out loud funny!
I thought this was such a funny book. Not for the faint of heart, but if you are a Chelsea Handler fan, you'll love this book. I can hear her saying and doing some of the things she describes, well written and true to Chelsea.

Bloomsbury USA, 2007
Great Book
The only thing missing was the fact the The Dude claimed to be a roadie for Metallica on the Speed of Sound Tour and the band actually didn't do an album tour for the album. Enjoy a few caucasians, put on your favorite robe, jelly shoes and your favorite bowling ...

I Don't: A Contrarian History of Marriage
Susan Squire
Bloomsbury USA, 2008
I Don't: A Contrarian View of Marriage
A research product that is fascinating and memorable. The author does a sardonic job on the Old and New Testaments in examining the routes of males on top as a biblical command! Especially interesting is her cross-examination of the Genesis story with Adam, Eve, the ...
The SocialAtom: Why the Rich Get Richer, Cheaters Get Caught, and Your Neighbor Usually Looks Like You
Mark Buchanan
Bloomsbury USA, 2007
Finally, a path from Social alchemy to Social Science!
As an avid reader of the late, great Isaac Asimov's fabulous "Foundation" novels in my miss-spent youth, I was thrilled to read this book. I see it as the first faint glimmering of the possibility of developing the kind of social science which Asimov described in his ...

Resistance: A Frenchwoman's Journal of the War
Agnes Humbert
Bloomsbury USA, 2008
Heart-wrenching
Heart-wrenching and totally mesmerizing. I was completely engrossed, especially because it is all so real, all the mundane details, and all the big historical events. I didn't find a single moment where the story dragged. Completely engrossed by this book--highly ...
A Supremely Bad Idea: Three Mad Birders and Their Quest to See It All
Luke Dempsey
Bloomsbury USA, 2008
Couldn't put it down
I picked this book up because of the crazy-looking bird on the front cover -- I'm not a birder, nor did I think I had any interest in birding. But Dempsey's quick wit and hilarious anecdotes make the book not only a pleasure to read but also a really fascinating look ...
Everyday Drinking: The Distilled Kingsley Amis
Kingsley Amis
Bloomsbury USA, 2008
Drinking as an Englishman Should
I was delighted with Amis's book on drink,the effects of drink and the types of drink;his underdstudied wit combined with practical alchohol knowledge made for an enjoyable and useful read. Would highly recommend.
Fruitless Fall: The Collapse of the Honey Bee and the Coming Agricultural Crisis
Rowan Jacobsen
Bloomsbury USA, 2008
interesting read
I found this book to be an interesting and somewhat scary perspective on agriculture and the negative aspects of industrial farming. I actually was moved to go and purchase organic wildflower honey and was really suprised by the difference from consumer grade honey
The Lemon Tree: An Arab, a Jew, and the Heart of the Middle East
Sandy Tolan
Bloomsbury USA, 2007
Moving, Tragic, Real
This is a sublime work of art, made all the more so by its complete factual accuracy. Sure, Sandy picks and chooses the facts he'll present, as any historian does, but every thought, every moment, comes only from historical records and interviews. And perhaps it's ...

Emma Gilbey Keller
Bloomsbury USA, 2008
Fun to Read
This book shares some wonderful stories about women who took time off from the work force to take care of their children-and made it back. It is somewhat inspirational, but mostly just interesting biographies of vastly different proffessional women and their ...
