Ordinary Men: Reserve Police Battalion 101 and the Final Solution in Poland
Christopher R. Browning
Harper Perennial, 1993
Not for the faint of heart, or the weak of stomach!
This book (as described by previous reviewers and the product description) details what the men in the Nazi Reserve Police Battalion 101 went through, specifically during the SS Invasion of Poland. Browning describes in detail the process of dehumanizing the Jews, ...
Kitchen Confidential Updated Ed: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly (P.S.)
Anthony Bourdain
Harper Perennial, 2007
A cook at his best
I really appreciate Bourdain's candidness. His stories are real, thoughtful, and humorous. I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Bourdain or good storytelling.

Harper Perennial, 2008
Inspiring!
I found this story fascinating and inspiring! I originally listened to this book as a download but had to buy a hard copy to loan out because I keep recommending it. If you are interested in learning more about the local food movement, sustainable farming/gardening, ...

The Yiddish Policemen's Union: A Novel (P.S.)
Michael Chabon
Harper Perennial, 2008
A mayse of the Frozen Chosen
The Yiddish Policemen's Union is a delightfully fun read set in part of Alaska set aside as a refuge for the Jews after the Holocaust. The United States, after the Israelis lost their war for independence, leases the territory to the Jews for sixty years. But now the ...
Run: A Novel (P.S.)
Ann Patchett
Harper Perennial, 2008
Family Stories
Ann Patchett is a wondrous writer, capable of small miracles of grace that come seemingly from nowhere, illuminating her characters and bringing joy to the reader. Even though RUN, her latest novel, may have flaws, how can I give it less than five stars for the joy it ...
The Forgotten Man: A New History of the Great Depression
Amity Shlaes
Harper Perennial, 2008
Setting the Record Straight
We have been told all our lives that Franklin D. Roosevelt "saved capitalism" with his New Deal, which was a stark departure from the policies of Herbert Hoover. Amity Shlaes sets the record straight, refuting the conventional wisdom in "The Forgotten Man", a timely ...
The Man in the White Sharkskin Suit: A Jewish Family's Exodus from Old Cairo to the New World (P.S.)
Lucette Lagnado
Harper Perennial, 2008
Outstanding
This is my favorite book of the year. It combines all of my interests - Jewish history, family struggles, impact of culture, and so much more. The author spent her early years in Egypt and the family was forced out by anti-semitism. While in Egypt, they lived a ...
The Gift of Therapy: An Open Letter to a New Generation of Therapists and Their Patients
Irvin Yalom
Harper Perennial, 2003
Excellent Resource
This was one of the most helpful books I've read in my graduate experience. The lessons take the theory that we've learned and make it practical. Dr. Yalom's willingness to admit his mistakes and weaknesses makes his advice and insight much more relevant.
Savage Inequalities: Children in America's Schools
Jonathan Kozol
Harper Perennial, 1992
a very important book
First of all, I realize this book is slightly dated, in that it was published 17 years ago. The unfortunate thing is that I don't believe much has changed since Kozol wrote it... if there have been major changes, he wouldn't have found it necessary to write his second ...
Bel Canto (P.S.)
Ann Patchett
Harper Perennial, 2005
Patchett Delivers Again
Wow. I don't think I've ever had an afterglow after reading a book. Just like an awesome love-making session, I just sat there afterwards, basking in the feelings that Bel Canto arose in me. "Bel Canto" literally means good singing, and Patchett certainly delivered a ...
The God of Small Things
Arundhati Roy
Harper Perennial, 1998
Breathtaking First Novel
I read this book as a literature student in college and it is still one of my favorite books of all time. Her words read like poetry. It literally took my breath away in its beauty and message. Highly recommended for those who enjoy reading about the effects of ...
