From the unique perspective of David Sedaris comes a new collection of essays taking his listeners on a bizarre and stimulating world tour. From the perils of French dentistry to the eating habits of the Australian kookaburra, from the squat-style toilets of Beijing to the particular wilderness of a North Carolina Costco, we learn about the absurdity and delight of a curious traveler's experiences.

David is an American gem that shines into the absurdity of our world. See his show in a theater, not Costco!

He is one of basketball's towering figures: "Mr. Clutch," who mesmerized his opponents and fans. The coach who began the Lakers' resurgence in the 1970s. The general manager who helped bring "Showtime" to Los Angeles, creating a championship-winning force that continues to this day. Now, for the first time, the legendary Jerry West tells his story - from his tough childhood in West Virginia, to his unbelievable college success at West Virginia University, his 40-year career with the Los Angeles Lakers, and his relationships with NBA legends.

Even the Great Ones Can Be Troubled
Revisado: 06-14-24
Jerry West was my childhood idol as I was a young basketball player in SoCal in the 1960’s. I listened to Chick Hearn describe every Laker game on my transistor radio and even got a flattop haircut just like Jerry. I was lucky enough to receive a college basketball scholarship and even luckier to meet Mr. West in the LA Sports Arena a few years later as he was scouting Pat Ewing for the Lakers. He was polite and soft spoken and thanked me for being a fan of his and the Lakers. Class act in every way. Until I read this incredible life story, I had no idea of the demons he wrestled with his entire life. Sadly, Jerry West passed away a few days ago. He is “The Icon” of the NBA and will always be my favorite basketball player. Rest in peace, Mr. Clutch!

If it weren’t for Emma Johnson, Caryn Johnson would have never become Whoopi Goldberg. Emma gave her children the loving care and wisdom they needed to succeed in life, always encouraging them to be true to themselves. When Whoopi lost her mother in 2010—and then her older brother, Clyde, five years later—she felt deeply alone; the only people who truly knew her were gone. Emma raised her children not just to survive, but to thrive. In this intimate and heartfelt memoir, Whoopi shares many of the deeply personal stories of their lives together for the first time.

Whoopi Wow!
Revisado: 05-29-24
What a wonderful remembrance of Whoopi’s mother, brother, and child and the positive influence that they had in her incredible career! She doesn’t skip the bad times such as failed marriages and drug addiction, but she relies on the grit that her mother taught her on how to deal with tough situations. I always admired her as an actor and talk show host, but I have new found respect for her as strong woman.

At the beginning of his memoir Life Lived Wild: Adventures at the Edge of the Map, Rick Ridgeway tells us that if you add up all his many expeditions, he’s spent over five years of his life sleeping in tents: “And most of that in small tents pitched in the world’s most remote regions.” It’s not a boast so much as an explanation. Whether at elevation or raising a family back at sea level, those years taught him, he writes, “to distinguish matters of consequence from matters of inconsequence.” He leaves it to his listeners to do the final sort of which is which.

Revisado: 05-17-24
Incredible life story of group of idealists who conquer the highest peaks of the world and then turn their combined efforts to establishing national parks in distant lands to combat the loss of “wild places” left to nature free from the destructive forces of mankind. What an inspiring story of a group of men, “The Go Boys”, and how the succeeded in business and used their wealth to help save the wild, wild earth.

Few journalists working today have covered Donald Trump more extensively than Maggie Haberman. And few understand him and his motivations better. Now, demonstrating her majestic command of this story, Haberman reveals in full the depth of her understanding of the 45th president himself, and of what the Trump phenomenon means.

Donald J. Trump is the worst president the U.S. has ever had! He is the ultimate grifter who has no core principles. The ultimate cheat and phony!

One night in 1967, 26-year-old John Donohue - known as Chick - was out with friends, drinking in a New York City bar. The friends gathered there had lost loved ones in Vietnam. Now, they watched as anti-war protesters turned on the troops themselves. One neighborhood patriot came up with an inspired - some would call it insane - idea. Someone should sneak into Vietnam, track down their buddies there, give them messages of support from back home, and share a few laughs over a can of beer. It would be the Greatest Beer Run Ever.

The Trail is a moving story of how nature helps us find what’s missing in our lives. The tale begins with Gil, who in the wake of his father’s death and recently fired from his job, agrees to accompany his father’s old hiking partner Syd on a month-long trek on the John Muir Trail. There’s just one problem: Gil hates camping and is woefully unprepared for the rigors of the journey. Moreover, he soon learns Syd may not survive the hike.

As David Brooks observes, “There is one skill that lies at the heart of any healthy person, family, school, community organization, or society: the ability to see someone else deeply and make them feel seen—to accurately know another person, to let them feel valued, heard, and understood.” And yet we humans don’t do this well. All around us are people who feel invisible, unseen, misunderstood. In How to Know a Person, Brooks sets out to help us do better, posing questions that are essential for all of us: If you want to know a person, what kind of attention should you cast on them?

Packed with new reporting, Tired of Winning: Donald Trump and the End of the Grand Old Party tracks Trump’s improbable journey from disgraced and defeated former president to the dominant force, yet again, in the Republican Party. From his exile in Mar-a-Lago, Donald Trump has become more extreme, vengeful, and divorced from reality than he was on January 6, 2021. His meddling damaged the GOP’s electoral prospects and his legal troubles were mounting. Yet he re-emerged as the frontrunner for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, and the president-elect.

Jonathan Karl nails Donald Trump with his own bombastic speech and actions. American democracy probably won’t survive a second Trump term. Hope America wakes up to the ultimate threat Donald Trump represents!

A modern American classic and a family saga that spans decades, this is the story of the volatile Tom Wingo, his brilliant but troubled twin sister, Savannah, and the complex and damaging family legacy they share. Moving between the sparkling glamour of New York City and the vanishing beauty of the South Carolina low country, The Prince of Tides is Pat Conroy’s masterwork.
