~ Adam
Haslett
In Haslett's
excellent first novel (following Pulitzer and
National Book Award finalist short story collection You
Are Not a Stranger Here), a titan of the banking
industry does battle with a surprisingly formidable
opponent: a retired history teacher. Doug Fanning
has built Union Atlantic from a mid-size Boston bank
to an international powerhouse and rewards himself
by building a rural palace in Finden, Mass. The land
his house is built on, however, had been donated to
Finden for preservation by Charlotte Graves's
grandfather, and Charlotte believes she now has a
claim on the lot. This book
should be of interest to readers fascinated but
perplexed by the current financial crisis, as it is
able to navigate the oubliette of Wall Street
trading to create searing and intimate drama.

"As charming and coquettish as
Paris itself, Lunch
in Paris reawakens
our tired hearts and palates with a deliciously
passionate journey through the city of lights.
Be prepared to be seduced by french kisses, the
richest chocolate, and the sweet charm of Bard's prose."

by Lance
Armstrong
Reading this book
feels like you've spent a year being a fly on the
wall as Lance goes about his life. It's a
fascinating glimpse into his world, from the high
glamour (flying in private jets and hanging out with
world leaders) to the mundane (running his kids to
school and playing in the backyard with them - nice
backyard by the way Lance).
