I Am America (And So Can You!)
Stephen Colbert
Grand Central Publishing, 2007
Hysterical, you'll not be disapointed
Stephen Colbert is truly, a national treasure. Certainly, he's great enough to be considered an international treasure, but America isn't going to share him any time soon.
He is the most intelligent man I've never met, equally funny (if not more so) than any late ...

Off Season
Anne Rivers Siddons
Grand Central Publishing, 2008
One of her best novels!
I became a fan of Ms. Siddons many, many years ago when I first read "Peachtree Road." After that I read every book she had published up to then (some time in the 80s) and proceeded to obtain all First Editions of her earlier books and bought every single one of her ...

The Quickie
James Patterson, Michael Ledwidge
Grand Central Publishing, 2008
James Patterson at his Best/The Quickie
James Patterson has done it again.. Can this man write ANYTHING bad? I think not. The Quickie is a very fast read as well as it should be, because when you start a Patterson novel, you do not want to put it down.
Bare bones is what I call it and the plot could have ...
