All the Way to the River: Love, Loss, and Liberation by Elizabeth GilbertA raw and unflinching memoir of love, addiction, heartbreak, and transformation from the author of Eat Pray Love traces her journey from deep friendship to destructive passion and the hard-won freedom from patterns that once felt impossible to escape. Illustrations."Fans of her more lighthearted memoir and novels may be shocked by this book's intensity, but it's a brave story with an ultimately hopeful outcome. Gilbert is one of our bona fide literary superstars, and her announcement of this tell-all grief memoir was met with enormous enthusiasm."--Booklist Review

Confronting Evil : Assessing the Worst of the Worstby Bill O'ReillyCollectively, these warlords, tyrants, businessmen, and criminals are directly responsible for the death and misery of hundreds of millions of people. By telling what they did and why they did it, Confronting Evil explains the struggle between good and evil -- a choice every person in the Judeo-Christian tradition is compelled to make. But many defer. We avoid the life decision. We look away. It's easier. Prepare yourself to read the consequences of that inaction. As John Stuart Mill said in 1867 : 'Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing.'"

The perfect recommendation for someone looking for something different and extremely entertaining."--Booklist Review |
