| Take it, DeStorm! |
We've
just rolled out our latest batch of new books. Here are some of the titles the staff
is most excited by:
Friends,
Romans, Countryman lend us your eyes. Read Richard's compelling case for why
Rome still controls a vast cultural empire.
Robert
Gates served as a war-time Secretary of Defense under our two most recent
presidents. Pore over his account of his time at the helm of the globe's most
dominant military and within the circle of the world's most powerful men.
Can
art change the world? De Boton and Armstrong think it can be an instructive
force for good that is capable of showing viewers how to manage and overcome
the conflict, vagaries, and confusion of everyday life.
Cormac
McCarthy's dark and thought provoking novels have been successfully adapted for
the screen. Read what happened when the novelist cut out the middle-men, and
authored this original screenplay for director Ridley Scott.
Read
this coming of age story by novelist Dana Johnson for the unique and engaging
voice of its heroine, Avery Arlington. Praised for the veracity of its
characters and setting, Johnson's book is an enjoyable journey through
contemporary L.A.
Lillian
Hellman was an accomplished writer but was almost universally loathed by her
contemporaries. Author Alice Kessler-Harris takes on Hellman's legend, and uses
historians' tools to draw a more complete picture of one of America's most
unique personalities.
A
former slave in the fractious Kansas territories conceals his true identity
from firebrand abolitionist John Brown in this highly original novel by James
Brown. Read this book for one of the freshest re-imaginings of the historic
raid on Harper's Ferry.
