Scott McClellan
PublicAffairs
, 2008
Don't Miss the All Important Last Chapter
Scott McClellan is going to be hated by his fellow Team Bush cheerleader squad for ratting out his boss. But It's hard to believe that when he worked for Bush as Governor of Texas (overlooking the hundreds of death warrants signed) Bush was a compassionate uniter who ...
The Post-American World
Fareed Zakaria
W. W. Norton
, 2008
A simply amazing book.
This is an excellent, accessable book that in my opinion should be required reading for every American citizen. Zakaria cuts through the polemics of both right and left and soberly assesses the state of American society, politics, and economics today. The last ...
Goodnight Bush: A Parody
Gan Golan
,
Erich Origen
Little, Brown and Company
, 2008
Perfect place to sum up the Bush years...
...in a parody of a children's book. The Bush years have definitely been a parody of a presidency. And there has never been a more childish, immature, ridiculous person in the Oval Office. This is the perfect gift for all the people on your list who have suffered ...
The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder
Vincent Bugliosi
Vanguard Press
, 2008
Absolutely searing.
If you think you've thought it all through, you're wrong. Bugliosi presents an air-tight open-and-shut case on putting George W. Bush on trial for the murder of 4,000+ American soldiers. Fantastic writing and fantastic research.
My Stroke of Insight: A Brain Scientist's Personal Journey
Jill Bolte Taylor
Viking Adult
, 2008
Invaluable, captivating, belongs in every home
I've told all my relatives about this book and Dr. Taylor's unique and amazing experience. The book should be required reading in medical school (even though it is written for the general public) or else its groundbreaking findings should be included in medical ...
The Last Lecture

Jeffrey Zaslow
Hyperion
, 2008
amazing!
This book is amazing! It shows how we take life for granted everyday. It made me laugh, it made me cry, but what it did most was truly inspire me to not worry about the little things.
The Dark Side: The Inside Story of How The War on Terror Turned into a War on American Ideals
Jane Mayer
Doubleday
, 2008
Becoming the Devil Ourselves!
"The Dark Side" documents how the Bush Administration immediately took the wrong direction post 9/11 in an effort to avert blame for what was a colossal bureaucratic failure (people not doing their jobs or using common sense), combined with inattention and lack of ...

Harper
, 2008
biased reviewers: get specific, please! (4.5 stars I sez)
This book has a nearly equal number of '1 star' and '5 star' ratings and it seems - to me at least - that most of these contributors have rated it based on their political preferences and biases. To be sure it's thought (and invective-) provoking, and it ranges ...
sTORI Telling
Tori Spelling
Simon Spotlight
, 2008
so fun!
I grew up watching Tori on 90210, probably like most people. As the years went by and you kinda just saw bits and pieces of her, I unfairly assumed, "hey, she doesnt need to work, her family has millions!". Well, she proved me wrong, and she did it in such a humorous, ...
Audition: A Memoir
Barbara Walters
Knopf
, 2008
Best Memoir Ever
I was riveted by Barbara Walter's memoir, Audition. It was a fascinating read and frankly, a great reminder of the history through which I have lived. When I was younger, I missed some of those historic interviews due to youthful disinterest. As an older woman, I am ...
Unaccustomed Earth
Jhumpa Lahiri
Knopf
, 2008
I was sad to leave the characters
Unaccustomed Earth is a wonderful collection of stories that you are so sad to leave at the end of each one. A book that doesn't leave you. I am so happy that I found it.

Who is Barack Obama!
So, who is this Barack Obama who is likely to become the next President of the United States? Dreams from My Father answers those questions in the words of Mr. Obama himself. By now, most people know that Barack Obama is a gifted speaker; but I doubt that many know ...
Into the Wild
Jon Krakauer
Anchor
, 2007
One of the best ever
This is the best non-fiction book I have ever read. It embodies brilliantly the theme of the search for God. Defintly the greatest nonfiction book I've ever read, even if the author talked a little too much about himself. Far better than the likes of the fictional ...
