Bonk: The Curious Coupling of Science and Sex - Mary Roach
The study of sexual physiology—what happens, and why, and how to make it happen better—has been a paying career or a diverting sideline for scientists as far-ranging as Leonardo da Vinci and James Watson. The research has taken place behind the closed doors of laboratories, brothels, MRI centers, pig farms, sex-toy R&D labs, and Alfred Kinsey's attic.
The Brothers K - David James Duncan
The brothers are the Chance boys, sons of Papa Toe, a minor league pitcher whose crushed thumb is replaced by a transplanted toe, and his devout Seventh Day Adventist wife. Like Dostoevsky's Karamazovs, the Chances speculate on the nature of God, delve into the nuances of what constitutes moral behavior, experience evil, suffer from criminal acts, and, finally, determine that God is love and love redeems.
Certain Girls - Jennifer Weiner
"Hilarious. Weiner offer her signature snappy observations and spot-on insights into human nature."-- Publishers Weekly
The Day I Ate Whatever I Wanted - Elizabeth Berg
What would you do, if you were going to break out and away? Go AWOL from Weight Watchers and spend an entire day eating every single thing you want–and then some? Start a dating service for people over fifty to reclaim the razzle-dazzle in your life–or your marriage? Seek comfort in the face of aging, look for love in the midst of loss, find friendship in the most surprising of places?
Let’s Face It: 90 Years of Living, Loving and Learning - Kirk Douglas
Douglas, an actor for six decades, has appeared in 70 films and has been nominated for an Academy Award three times: for Champion, The Bad and the Beautiful, and Lust for Life. He received the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1981 and the National Medal of the Arts in 2001.
The Rescue - Kathryn Lasky
Third in the Guardians series, this book reintroduces us to Soren, a barn owl, who must search for his beloved teacher, Ezylryb, while also pursuing a mysterious villain, Metal Beak.
The Traitor - Stephen Coonts
In bestseller Coonts's assured new international thriller, Tommy Carmellini, the sardonic, laid-back CIA agent who became a star in 2004's Liars & Thieves, gets a shot at the big time in his second featured outing when he's asked to drop his routine work and help find out why the director of French intelligence is making large, secret investments in the Bank of Palestine.
