The Bookmaker: A Memoir of Money, Luck, and Family from the Utopian Outskirts of New York City
Michael J. Agovino
Harper, 2008
Like walking down memory lane...
I grew up in Co-Op City during the exact same time Agovino did, so reading this story was fascinating and nostalgic for me. Gun Hill Road, the QBX1, Truman High School, the demographic expansion and then ultimate contraction of the neighborhood were all vividly ...

Joel Spolsky
Apress, 2008
Worth Rereading
Since I've been reading joelonsoftware for the past two years, a lot of this was already familiar to me, but it was well worth rereading. Some of the essays were old enough and I hadn't come by links to them so they were new to me, but not many. Most of the first ...

A Tale Out of Luck: A Novel
Willie Nelson, Mike Blakely
Center Street, 2008
Endearing characters make "A Tale Out of Luck" a good read
Nelson and Blakely deliver an action-packed page-turner with far more substance than the average Western novel. While the mix of intrigue and suspense will keep readers on the trail, the enduring qualities of the characters are what set this novel apart.

Cristina Garcia
Vintage, 2008
Great Characters rolling the dice of life
I really enjoyed the complexity and unique-ness of all three of the main characters. They each had their own motivations to drive their choices--which were not always noble, but true to their characters. While "luck" wasn't an obvious metaphor each character did take ...

Excellent and Enlightening EEG introduction
The text is well written and packed with insightful commentary about EEG research. I think it is a great book for those of us trying to add EEG research to our toolbox of neuroimaging techniques. He is very forthright about his biases, so it seems clear about where ...
