All Those Moments: Stories of Heroes, Villains, Replicants, and Blade Runners
Rutger Hauer, Patrick Quinlan
HarperEntertainment, 2007
Some Nice Moments
You're never quite sure what you're going to get when you read a ghostwritten autobiography of an actor. Even though my tendency is to read the actor in as close to his own words as possible and stay away from biographies, there are dangers to getting it from the horse's mouth too. Who knows what ...

Independent Diplomat: Dispatches from an Unaccountable Elite (Crises in World Politics)
Carne Ross
Cornell University Press, 2007
Why Can't We All Just Get Along
Will be of interest to all those interested in international dispute settlement and the current role of diplomacy. While ultimately unconvincing, it is thought provoking.
Parts of this book are quite interesting, especially when the author describes his personal career in the British Foreign ...

The Good Guy
Dean Koontz
Bantam, 2007
To Portland and back seated between a mason and a psycho killer
+ Solid and edgy, Koontz creates a truly believable yarn in "The Good Guy"
+ Crime thriller that takes you back
When I infrequently turn to a Dean Koontz thriller for entertainment, I usually discover some psycho that's evolved from a bad childhood. It makes one wonder what crowd the author ran with as a kid.
Here, stonemason Tim Carrier, minding his own business on a barstool, finds himself mistaken for ...
