Reflections of a Wine Merchant
Neal I. Rosenthal
Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2008
Thud
If there was ever any doubt about the matter we now know that the skill set needed to discover wines of real character and the one that results in great prose are entirely distinct. Though I was looking forward to this book, from the outset I was sorely disappointed. The author spends much of the ...

A true heroine

I read this wonderful book with great enjoyment. President Carter does a great job making this bio entertaining as well as inspiring. Lillian was not a saint but a very outspoken "live life to the fullest" woman.
I was impressed by her respectful treatment of African Americans and the great ...

Stranger in Paradise (Jesse Stone Novels)
Robert B. Parker
Putnam Adult, 2008
Maybe the best of the Stone series...
+ GREAT READ
+ Good read sets the stage for further developments
Perhaps I was just in the right mood, but I devoured this one in two sittings, and the break I took in order to go to sleep was done regretfully. For a change, the actual suspense/mystery/thriller plot was better than the personal relationships depicted. Thus, it qualified for me as a ...

Send Yourself Roses: Thoughts on My Life, Love, and Leading Roles
Kathleen Turner
Springboard Press, 2008
I loved this book
I really enjoyed reading this book. I loved how honest Kathleen Turner is about her life. I thought of it as an honor to read anything about Kathleen Turners life. I think alot of people forget that she is just human like the rest of us and she makes mistakes too.
