The Thing About Life Is That One Day You'll Be Dead (Paperback)

By David Shields
$14.95
ISBN-13: 9780307387967
Availability: On Our Shelves Now
Published: Vintage, 02/01/2009

Zeitoun (Hardcover)

By Dave Eggers
$24.00
ISBN-13: 9781934781630
Availability: Usually Ships in 1-5 days
Published: McSweeney's, 07/01/2009

A thoroughly engrossing, and ultimately disturbing, non-fiction account of a Muslim family in New Orleans before, during and after hurricane Katrina. The writing is crystal clear, moving and straight-forward. My choice for best book of 2009.

The Crying Tree (Hardcover)

By Naseem Rakha
$22.95
ISBN-13: 9780767931403
Availability: Usually Ships in 1-5 days
Published: Broadway, 07/01/2009
Searingly poetic at times, and always informed by an impsired sense of place, whether on death row at an Oregon prison, or in a tornado-ravaged small town in Michigan. With a knowing eye and a compassionate heart, Rakha tracks the arc of a family's collapse over the murder of a son, the soul-destroying hate that follows, and the redemptive revelation of forgiveness. Compelling plot, complex characters, artfully managed suspense. I couldn't put it down.

When Everything Changed: The Amazing Journey of American Women from 1960 to the Present (Hardcover)

By Gail Collins
$27.99
ISBN-13: 9780316059541
Availability: Usually Ships in 1-5 days
Published: Little, Brown and Company, 10/01/2009
Former Editorial Page editor of the New York Times Gail Collins, is not only the author of some of my favorite OP Ed columns, she has written a history of the past 50 years of the woman's movement in America. As a woman of a certain age, I knew that this book belonged on my bookshelf. What I didn't know was that Collins is first and foremost a gifted, well-informed story-teller who doesn't seem to have an axe to grind. No matter where I opened this well-indexed book, I found myself reading well into the night. Brought back many memories, but even better, fleshed out the bare bones of a story I knew with whole episodes I had missed or forgotten. Truly irresistible, illuminating reading.
