I saw myself and my childhood and my relationship with my father at times when reading this book. Though my experiences were not quite the ...             Pretty Is What Changes: Impossible Choices, The Breast Cancer Gene, and How I Defied My Destiny Jessica Queller Spiegel & Grau, 2008 Wonderful and Touching! I am faced with the same genetic predisposition to breast cancer and it was a life-saver to read about another person's triumph.             Journey of a Thousand Miles: My Story Lang Lang, David Ritz Spiegel & Grau, 2008 “Number One” was a phrase my father—and, for that matter, my mother—repeated time and time again. It was a phrase spoken by my parents’ friends and by their friends’ children. Whenever adults discussed the great Chinese painters and sculptors from the ancient dynasties, there was always a single artist named as ...             Petite Anglaise Catherine Sanderson Spiegel & Grau, 2008 Refreshingly honest and funny I've been reading Catherine's blog since she first published that she was sacked from her job. I wasn't sure if I was going to buy the book, but I'm really glad that I did! I enjoyed the honesty with which this was written and her sense of humor. I purposely did not ...             All We Ever Wanted Was Everything Janelle Brown Spiegel & Grau, 2008 a fun read I was surprised by how much I got into this novel. It isn't my usual type of book. But after not having anything else to read I decided to forge on. Good thing I did, I really liked it. Some pages were so real I actually got nervous for the character.             The Great Derangement: A Terrifying True Story of War, Politics, and Religion at the Twilight of the American ... Matt Taibbi Spiegel & Grau, 2008 The Great Derangement: A Terrifying True Story of War, Politics, and Religion at the Twilight of the American Empire This book is both funny and scary. It gives a personal review of encounters with everyday Americans. People who are good, kind, but share a lunacy that makes you wonder whether America is really in its twilight.             Mexican High: A Novel Liza Monroy Spiegel & Grau, 2008 So real! I have to admit that I mainly bought this book because I actually went to the high school in Mexico City which Monroy attended, and on which the book's fictional high school is "loosely based." Still, I was pleasantly surprised to find a book that portrays beautifully ...             Women & Money: Owning the Power to Control Your Destiny Suze Orman Spiegel & Grau, 2007 An interesting read for women who are trying to help themselves. After clicking through Suze Orman's TV program called Women & Money, I decided to give this book a try. Generally, these types of books do not seem to help me, but immediately as began reading this book the lightbulb went off in my head. I have to say that I am really ...             Ghostwalk Rebecca Stott Spiegel & Grau, 2008 An A for effort but that's all Rebecca Stott's Ghostwalk started out promising--atmospheric, mysterious, romantic--but less than halfway through, it stalls and flaws rise to the surface like a bloated corpse. Maybe that's too harsh; the book isn't *that* bad, but Stott fails to deliver on her ...             Too Fat to Fish Artie Lange, Anthony Bozza Spiegel & Grau, 2008 When good-for-little stand-up comic Artie Lange joined the permanent cast of The Howard Stern Show in 2001, it was nothing short of a renaissance in the Stern universe. The Stern juggernaut has never slowed since its 80s heyday, but Lange provided what Stern had yet to find all in the same place: a wit quick enough to keep pace with his own, a ...             Factory Girls: From Village to City in a Changing China Leslie T. Chang Spiegel & Grau, 2008 An eye-opening and previously untold story, Factory Girls is the first look into the everyday lives of the migrant factory population in China.

Chang, a former correspondent for the Wall Street Journal in Beijing, tells the story ...             Against the Machine: Being Human in the Age of the Electronic Mob Lee Siegel Spiegel & Grau, 2008 The Great Digital Unwashed This book, as the title suggests, is about the negative and destructive aspects of the Internet. Many of us, even true believers, have always felt instinctively that it was not all good. From the outset it should be noted that cultural critic Lee Siegel is keenly ...             Women and Money (Power to Control Your Destiny) Orman Suzy Spiegel And Grau, 2007 Bestselling author (2005's The Money Book for the Young, Fabulous & Broke, etc.) and host of her own CNBC show, Orman encourages women to "give to yourself as much as you give of yourself" in her ninth financial advice book, sure to resonate with legions of readers who will appreciate her straightforward advice and supportive tone. Aiming squarely ...             The End of the Jews: A Novel Adam Mansbach Spiegel & Grau, 2008 You don't have to be Jewish .... I am not Jewish, yet I enjoyed Adam Mansbach's moving multi-genererational novel immensely, and so, I suspect, will you. Certainly the novel is laced with references to Jewish customs, traditions, and even dishes (noodle kugel, anyone?), and it deals partly with the ...             The Lizard Cage Karen Connelly Spiegel & Grau, 2008 Compelling and memorable This is one of the most compelling and haunting stories I've ever read, and I've read a LOT!
