Garth Stein

Harper, 2008

Enzo had me at "hello".........
I came across this book in my library's new book section. I have never finished a book in less than a day's time..... much less read 321 pages...... but yesterday I did. The story is told through the main character: a dog named Enzo. He had me at "hello" (or ...

Careless in Red: A Novel

Elizabeth George

Harper, 2008

Counselor: A Life at the Edge of History

Ted Sorensen

Harper, 2008

82 & Counting
This is the most moving, realistic depiction of JFK I have ever seen. Many will forever rant and rave over his personal peccadillos, but this man was a leader. His speech at American University, which was his way of dealing with Soviet & American feelings about ...

Jennifer Haigh

Harper, 2008

Another Homerun by Jennifer Haigh
Jennifer Haigh is one of the finest writers today. None of her books are anything alike, it is amazing. I was engrossed from the first page, the family and characters were very interesting and real - I totally recommend this book.
