This Is the Story of a Happy Marriage
by Ann Patchett
Kevin's Comments:
"Patchett's collection is solid throughout, something that can't be said about most essay collections. Her essay on writing, 'The Getaway Car,' is outstanding and should be required reading for everyone who even thinks about writing. If you're interested in education, bookstores, reading, dogs, becoming a police officer, writing, or how Patchett found a happy marriage, this is the book for you." (read more)

Chasing the Scream: The First and Last Days of the War on Drugs
by Johann Hari
Michael's Comments:
"This book is absolutely essential reading on one of the most important topics in our society and world. It speaks the truth about about addiction and the proper way to respond to it as individuals and citizens. The news is that just about everything you assume to be appropriate is wrong. If you care about human decency, get this book and read it well." (read more)

The Marauders
by Tom Cooper
Tim's Comments:
"It's 1:30 a.m. and I'm about halfway through 'The Marauders' by Tom Cooper, his first novel, and I have to force myself to go to bed. That's how it went until I finished this book. Every now and then I get hold of a book that when finished I immediately want more. I loved the characters and story line....I look forward to Tom Cooper's next book." (read more)

The Darkest Part of the Forest
by Holly Black
Vivianna's Comments:
"This is a story of brothers and sisters, of childhood fantasies and the havoc they wreak, of great loves and greater sorrows, but above all I believe this is a story of choices; good and bad, all melding into a magnificent specimen of storytelling. This book is a must read for Holly Black fans, and I would say, to anyone who wants to read a really, really fantastic book." (read more)
