The Limits of Power: The End of American Exceptionalism
Andrew Bacevich
Metropolitan Books, 2008
Bacevich nails it. Read it and weep.
A dense but highly thoughtful analysis of our current problems. Right on target. How the heck did we ever let our country get into such an awful state. This is not only a great study of how we got here, it's a call to arms to change.

The Story of Edgar Sawtelle: A Novel
David Wroblewski
Ecco, 2008
Possibly the best book I've ever read...
I recently took this book on vacation with me after hearing it was an Oprah's pick. I don't get to read a lot but when I do, I expect the book to be excellent. This one exceeded my expectations. I absolutely devoured this book in just a few days, and was begging for ...

The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society
Mary Ann Shaffer, Annie Barrows
The Dial Press, 2008
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society
It was a little confusing at first, but once you get started reading it you will enjoy it. I felt a side benefit was that it also taught me a history lesson. I REALLY enjoy the book.

The War Within: A Secret White House History 2006-2008
Bob Woodward
Simon & Schuster, 2008
Last in Woodward's series
It amazes me that a reporter would get an 8 year behind the scenes pass to the Bush administration, but Woodward did. No one has ever successfully challenged the quotations in his books which are absolutely stunning. "The War Within" shows a President disengaged from ...

Living Dead in Dallas (Southern Vampire Mysteries, Book 2)

Tsar: A Thriller
Ted Bell
Atria, 2008
Keep them coming Ted...
Tsar by Ted Bell is simply a great read. It is what is meant by "take-me away-" entertainment. Bell has that remarkable ability to take complex national security issues and distil them so that people can not only see the dangerous world we live in--but be a part of ...

Dead to the World (Southern Vampire Mysteries, Book 4)
Charlaine Harris
Ace, 2005
My favorite in this series so far
I absolutely loved this book and it's my favorite so far in this series. Sookie is an incredible character. She's sweet, smart, sassy and doesn't take any crap from anyone. She's also a telepath, which makes her even more interesting.
She finds Eric, a gorgeous ...

Infinite Jest
David Foster Wallace
Back Bay Books, 2006
Great even if you don't get everything
I didn't, like one reviewer here suggested, look up every word I didn't know in the dictionary (and there were a lot. Antinomy?) I didn't even read all the footnotes, because after a while this was, even though it was a great book, one of those books where you start ...

The Host: A Novel
Stephenie Meyer
Little, Brown and Company, 2008
The Host
Dear Stephenie Meyer,
When I was first considering reading The Host I was reluctant. I was a pessimist thinking about how it wasn't emotionally possible to be as good as your Twilight series. That the writing that made me love the impossible romance where vampires ...
