Crazies to the Left of Me, Wimps to the Right: How One Side Lost Its Mind and the Other Lost Its Nerve
Bernard Goldberg
HarperCollins, 2007
Superb, whatever your political leanings
Bernie Goldberg spares neither the right nor the left from the exposure of their hypocrasy. He calls it like it is. We need more reporting like this, objective, complete, contextual and non-advocacy. I can't wait for his next book.

Betty Edwards
Tarcher, 2002
Cracking the wall
I have a family that is full of artists, and always felt really sad that I couldn't draw even a stick figure! A little while ago I realised something important - that drawing is a form of literacy, like writing, and so many of us don't make it past kindergarten.

Lush Life: A Novel
Richard Price
Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2008
Price's Best ?
I picked up Lush Life prepared to like it, because I don't know of a better writer today with an eye for detail and an ear for detail. Those two senses make for a powerful combination when it comes to writing, as long as you have the discipline. And, for all of its ...

Why Good People Do Bad Things: How to Stop Being Your Own Worst Enemy
