Robert Frank
Crown, 2007
Excellent

The Big Bow Mystery
Israel Zangwill
Dybbuk Press, LLC, 2007
Historically significant and a great read
The fact that the mystery disappears after the second chapter in no way detracts from the joy of this book. From widowed boarding house attendants to freeloading artists to a detective that might as well be the anti-Sherlock Holmes, this is one of the funniest and meanest books to come out of the ...

Christopher Hitchens
Twelve Books, Hachette Book Group, 2007
Whaat a great read!

Several Nice Melodies Here for those Who Enjoy 19th Century Song

Funny -- and wise
This book is meant as a gag, of course, but actually there is some good advice in here! You won't end up eating the brains of your friends and family (I think), but you will learn how to seize the moment, forge a new path, and act on your impulses.
So, I guess I'm saying: This book doesn't ...
