The Politician: An Insider's Account of John Edwards's Pursuit of the Presidency and the Scandal That Brought ...
Andrew Young
Thomas Dunne Books, 2010
One of the best books of the year!
I read a handful of political 'tell all stories' and really enjoyed Game Change and Renegade, and think The Politician is the best so far. I know Andrew Young is not a professional journalist or does he have any relevant experience in writing biographies or ...

I tried Lightning Thief when Scholastic was advertising it to my son's school. I'm always on the look out for fun books for him to read. I borrowed it from the library and got hooked myself!

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter
Seth Grahame-Smith
Grand Central Publishing, 2010
Better than Pride and Predjudice and Zombies
This just works. Seth Smith found an uncommon thread running through Lincoln's narrative and just went nuts with it. It doesn't seem that out of place. This is like fanfiction for grownups written by a pro with just the right sense of timing. This could have gotten ...

Often I find myself reading more about a book beforehand than I do actually reading the book. This was not the case with "The Shack". I knew very little about the piece, save that it held great prominence within many Christian ...
