The Last Boy: Mickey Mantle and the End of America's Childhood
Jane Leavy
Harper, 2010
The Definitive Biography
In my 23 years of owning a used book shop, I had the good fortune to acquire many books "by" or about Mickey Mantle over the years, from Ben Epstein's 1953 juvenile book to several memoirs "written" by the Mick himself. I grew up in the 50's and witnessed some of ...

Motorcycles, Sushi & One Strange Book
Zondervan, 2010
A Harsh Realistic Story Wrapped Up in a Pretty Package
From the cover of this book, this looks like it will be your normal, fluffy, Chick-lit YA story. Well as the old saying goes, don't judge a book by it's cover. The cover may be light but the story is heavy and deep. As soon as you start reading, Jessie's situation ...

The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals
Michael Pollan
Penguin, 2007
A must read for any eater
Highly recommended. You will find out some things that are very dismaying, but it also provides the impetus for changing diet and exploring better, more ethical, more healthy options. It certainly has made a Farmer's Market shopper out of me. A must read for anyone ...

Contracts Examples & Explanations
Brian A. Blum
Aspen Publishers, 2007
Very Helpful
This is an easy read, and interesting as far as contract law can be. It really puts the casebook into context. My contracts class uses the casebook from the same author, so it was helpful that the same cases were discussed in each, but this book would probably be ...

The Girl Who Played with Fire (Vintage)
Stieg Larsson
Vintage, 2010
Could not put it down
A great suspense story with characters who are so very interesting. How this author's mind must have worked to craft this story....It's a shame we'll only get the trilogy. I can't wait to read number three in the series.

Jeannette Walls
Scribner, 2006
Wow- I'm speechless
This was such an incredible story. I can't believe this is a non-fiction book. It is unfathomable to me that others could live like this. What a tough live. I am so happy that Jeannette shared her story with the world. I am just keeping my fingers crossed that we ...

Kaplan's "Sharp Writing" is a practical overview of grammar and usage, but is quite basic. If you are looking for a book that will provide you with more "Style" advice than grammar, I would recommend Style: Toward Clarity and Grace (Chicago Guides to Writing, Editing, ...

Hide in Plain Sight
Steeple Hill, 2009
Surprisingly great read,
I normally don't read this sort of novel! This one was a real surprise. The Christian angle was not over played. The romance was not over done! There was no blatant sex. What there was was a well written mystery with reasonable character development. It is obvious to ...
