Grab a crisp apple and settle down with a new book from the Relax & Read shelf.
Non-Fiction
What To Eat by Marion Nestle
You might have noticed Nestle in the movie Super Size Me. She is one of the world's leading authorities on food. This book takes you through your neighborhood grocery store and guides you aisle-by-aisle to the best choices to put in your cart and explains what we should know about the food we select.
Short Life & Long Times Of Mrs. Beeton by Kathryn Hughes
Who knew that England had a Martha Stewart as far back as the 1860's? The 21-year-old inexperienced Beeton wrote Beeton's Book of Household Management which became the ruling force of everything domestic for decades. This biography tells the whole story, including her untimely death and the scandals set off by her survivors.
Killing Yourself To Live by Chuck Klosterman
The author of Sex, Drugs and Cocoa Puffs (which is also on the R&R shelf) literally drives us through his 21-day, 6,557 mile extravaganza to see as many rock and roll death sites as possible. Crash sites. Suicide rooms. Drugs. Alcohol. Music. It all comes along for the ride.
Fiction
Thriller: Stories To Keep You Up All Night edited by James Patterson
This collection is authored by 32 of the most respected names of the genre, some creating new characters and some creating new stories around their familiar characters. As the jacket says: "Lock the doors, draw the shades, pull up the covers and be prepared".
The Keep by Jennifer Egan
Two cousins reunite as adults to renovate a crumbling old castle. As children one of them played a nearly fatal prank on the other and the suspicion of revenge has crept into the project. Twists & turns are everywhere in this imaginative tale.
