Favorite Books

Christopher Moore: A Dirty Job
"Until he became Death, he'd never felt so alive." Funny, quirkybook. I loved all the characters. I forgive Moore for its predictable ending because I was quite entertained all the way through.
Yann Martel: Life of Pi
Fascinating story, wonderful imagery, a truly inspired work of fiction. My new all time favorite book.
Ross King: Michelangelo and the Pope's Ceiling
Depicts the story of Michelangelo painting the Sistine Chapel. Might have been a dull tale if M knew how to paint frescos, wanted to paint frescos, didn't have a crazy family and artist rivals... Good stuff.
Christopher Buckley: No Way to Treat a First Lady
I love anything written by Christopher Buckley. Clever and liberal, just like I like it. Sidenote: I saw his much less liberal dad walking through the Redwest cafeteria at Microsoft once. He looked... unamused.
Anita Shreve: The Last Time They Met
Two poets in love, a tryst in Africa, reunited in their 50’s anda remarkable ending that makes you want to read it all over again – what more could you ask for in a novel?
Tony Schwartz: What Really Matters: Searching for Wisdom in America
"Schwartz's account of the four years he spent exploring different aspects of the human potential movement." Well researched and written - an interesting read.
