Grisham returns to form

Saturday, January 17th, 2009

asociatecoverEver-busy John Grisham is back with what made him famous — legal thrillers. His latest, due out this month, might seem reminiscent to his breakout-novel-turned-movie, The Firm. In The Associate, bright and idealistic attorney Kyle McAvoy, fresh out of law school, lands a plum job at a plum firm only to find himself caught in a deadly web of intrigue and deceit.

Publisher DoubleDay has this to say: “With an unforgettable cast of characters and villains—from Baxter Tate, a drug-addled trust fund kid and possible rapist, to Dale, a pretty but seemingly quiet former math teacher who shares Kyle’s “cubicle” at the law firm, to two of the most powerful and fiercely competitive defense contractors in the country—and featuring all the twists and turns that have made John Grisham the most popular storyteller in the world, The Associate is vintage Grisham.”

If this all sounds familiar, rest assured it’s a new cast of characters and a different town, with all-new chase sequences (just a guess here).

Bernard Fall: Memories of a Soldier-Scholar

Friday, September 12th, 2008

Bernard Fall was a young doctoral student in 1953 when he began learning about the French occupation of Vietnam. The subject would become his life’s work as a military analyst, historian and author of six books on Vietnam.

His wife Dorothy referred to Vietnam as her husband’s “mistress” and it was Fall’s passion for documenting the war from the front lines that ended his life in 1967. And it was Dorothy’s determination to honor her husband’s quest for the truth that provided the impetus to write his memoirs.

In this exploration, we discover what made Bernard Fall risk and lose his life to record the French and American military quagmires in Vietnam.  In light of the current military quagmire in Iraq, Fall’s insights are a timely reminder of the futility in using military solutions to solve political conflicts.

You CAN Eat That!

Friday, September 12th, 2008

A list of American kids’ favorite foods reads like fast-food menu: Burger? Check. Pizza? Check. Sundae? Double check.
The list has been wishful thinking to the more than 175,000 children and teens under age 20 who have diabetes.  Until now.  Robyn Webb’s new cookbook, You Can Eat That!, puts these dishes and many other children’s and teen-agers’ faves back on the menu.

The soft-cover book has 182 pages of recipes, tips and nutrition information, liberally sprinkled with mouth-watering photos.  Webb, who has years of experience developing diabetes-friendly recipes, concentrates on  the kind of foods kids like to eat – chicken fingers, trail mix, birthday cake, pizza, and milk shakes.

She packs each recipe with nutrition but pays attention to the flavor, too.

The Black Swan

Monday, July 14th, 2008

The Black Swan is not a fairy tale. Far from it. The Black Swan explains how sudden, unexpected events are the most powerful agents of change in the world. Change happens usually in violent spasms that, at least briefly, touch off chaos before a new order is instilled. In addition to challenging what he calls Platonic assumptions (focusing on the easily discernible), Nassim Nicholas Taleb exercises a mischievous sense of humor. He quotes Yogi Berra often: “You can observe a lot just by watching.” (epilogism) “It’s tough to make predictions about the future.” “The future ain’t what it used to be.” He gleefully bashes everything French (his parents are French citizens and he is fluent in French, so maybe he’s entitled to). He skewers the high-on-the-hog riders: “We humans have the largest cortex, followed by bank executives, dolphins, our cousins the apes.”

Having dwelt in the worlds of both academia and business gives him a rare perspective. He notes that being called a practitioner is an insult in academia, and being called academic is an insult in business.

On theory: “A theory is like medicine (or government): often useless, sometimes necessary, always self-serving, and on occasion lethal. So it needs to be used with care, moderation, and close adult supervision.”

Take your time with this book. Don’t take it to the beach. Expect to have some assumptions challenged. And expect to discover some new concepts.

Air Mask

Thursday, May 29th, 2008

Vanita Oelschlager’s book of poetry, Air Mask, began as a personal exercise just to serve as a sort of therapy for her long days as a caregiver for her husband, Jim. Jim has multiple sclerosis, but the issues a caregiver deals with are largely universal. A friend read the poems and told her, “You have to share these with others.” This Exploration, sponsored by Summa Health System, focuses largely on caregiving and caregivers. Vanita’s poetry speaks eloquently to the emotion and soul of the caregiver. DelMio and Summa aim to address education and support for caregivers, whether a wife, son, daughter, parent or sibling or friend.

Not Your Mother’s Slow Cooker Cookbook

Thursday, May 1st, 2008

Far fewer than the 80 percent of Americans who own slow cookers use them on a regular basis. This book is an attempt to change that. Instead of the usual recipes for slow-cooked roasts and throw-together soups, it is filled with modern and ethnic-inspired recipes – 350 in all – for such dishes as Mexican black beans with pork, Caribbean jerked chicken, polenta, and veal stew with sun-dried tomatoes and rosemary. Award-winning food writer Jane Snow talks about remarkably versatile slow cookers, and shares a recipe for risotto from Not Your Mother’s Slow Cooker Cookbook.

Water For Elephants

Thursday, March 27th, 2008

Water for Elephants is the story of a Great-Depression-era circus told through the memories of ninety-something-year-old veterinarian, Jacob Jankowski. Sara Gruen’s exhaustive research into the traveling circuses of the 1930s and 40s gives us a rare look into the fascinating, secretive subculture of that era’s big-top performers and roustabouts. Many of the most compelling anecdotes in Gruen’s well-told story are based on actual events.

God Grew Tired of Us

Tuesday, March 25th, 2008

http://www.randomhouse.com/images/dyn/cover/?source=9781426202124&height=300&maxwidth=170 The story of John Bul Dau’s childhood and early adulthood could be summarized by this prophesy: “This will be a black-haired time.” Which means: None of the people in Sudan will live long enough to have gray hair. It’s easy to turn off the news and lose interest in story after story of death and destruction in other parts of the world. We are inundated with images and stories about terrible pain and suffering all the time, and can become somewhat desensitized to it. Reading “God Grew Tired of Us” cuts through any desensitization and brings those feelings of sorrow and happiness, of pain and love, back into focus again.

Eat, Pray, Love

Sunday, March 23rd, 2008

Some people hibernate and lick their wounds after a difficult divorce. Not author Elizabeth Gilbert, who self-prescribed a year of exotic travel and convinced a publishing house to pay for it with a book advance. The result is Eat, Pray, Love, Gilbert’s journey of self-discovery in Rome (the eating leg of the trip), on an ashram in India (the praying portion) and love (in Bali, where she reconnected with joy).

Living History

Sunday, March 23rd, 2008

Living History provides Hillary Clinton with a 566-page opportunity to describe her roller coaster ride as a bright young lawyer and working mother whose husband rose through the ranks of Arkansas state government, only to win two terms in the grand prize of American politics – the presidency. This book gives the reader a detailed, insider’s look at the high-stakes, power-driven world of political warfare. It makes for fascinating reading and more than justifies Hillary’s claim that her life is a work of Living History in progress.

Marley & Me

Friday, March 21st, 2008

John Grogan spun this engaging book from his years with the ill-mannered, psychologically-challenged Marley. Through the touching stories about this needy creature, Grogan shares meaningful observations of life, marriage and fatherhood — not to mention the unconditional love familiar to anyone who has ever befriended a dog. In this exploration, we examine that mysterious bond between dogs and their people.

The Dangerous Book For Boys

Sunday, March 16th, 2008

 The Dangerous Book for Boys is not only a spillway of information on growing up boy, its contents for the intended “Boys” takes hold of the adult who has fond recollections of having been there and done that or wishing he had been there and done that. Taking the book, turning through the pages, the chapters melt into your hands, going beyond the scope of the intended “BOYS.”

A Thousand Splendid Suns/The Kite Runner

Thursday, March 13th, 2008

In his first novel The Kite Runner, and now A Thousand Splendid Suns, Khaled Hosseini writes about the Afghans caught in the middle of a seemingly endless string of wars and battles for power. Both novels paint a grim and moving picture of life in a war-torn country, and of lives lived in the face of hunger, death and a bleak future. Hosseini makes you realize that, even while bombs rain down and people are dying of hunger, people still fall in love, seek friends and, mostly, try to remain human.
