Non Fiction
What Paul Meant by Garry Willis. Willis defends Paul and his work. Paul's stand on divisive issues or early Christianity and how to move on as Christians is covered.
War on the Middle Class by Lou Dobbs. CNN's popular money man says, "[the] war is nothing less than an all-out-assault on the middle class, waged by a government that has become the instrument of corporate special interests, by a business culture that is driven by the profit motive above all other considerations, and by media that relies more on sensationalism than responsible reporting of the news."
Thunderstruck by Erik Larson. Larson's double narrative covers an almost perfect murder by an Englishman and Marconi's efforts to perfect and promote wireless comunication. Marconi's invention and a killer's escape to America coincide in the capture of a killer.
CancerVixen by Marisa Acocella Marchetto. Young, successfull, and fashion obsessed Marisa is diagnosed with breat cancer three weeks before her wedding. Since Marisa is also a cartoonist (a stylish cartoonist?) she wrote and illustrated a book about. 11 months from diagnoses to cure are covered in this highly recommended story.
Exile on Main St.: A Season in Hell with the Rolling Stones by Robert Greenfield. Sex, drugs and rock and roll wasn't a cliche to the Rolling Stones. Greenfield tells the story of the Stones' self imposed exile in Southern France and the hedonistic parties that joined the band's recording of Exile on Main St. Highly recommended by comic Artie Lang.
