Clearly, Where's the Birth Certificate?:The Case that Barack Obama is not Eligible to be President written by Jerome Corsi is a political book. Sometimes, you simply have to wonder why such books are considered non-fiction and then you have to wonder why they made the New York Times bestseller list. Perhaps, these are far more important questions to address. But the book does have a following of birthers or those who believe that what the President has shown for a birth certificate is false.
This political controversy-- or non-controversy, depending on your political view -- has been around for approximately
Killing Lincoln

First of all, Killing Lincoln: The Shocking Assassination that Changed America Forever is co-authored by Bill O'Reilly. The reason for bringing this point up first is that Bill O'Reilly is a political commentator for the Fox News Network. Therefore, he will have some people who love his work and some who are at odds with his political opinions. In other words, if you dislike him, then it is very unlikely that you will like a book written by him.

Beauty Queens by Libba Bray
by Sam P. October 27th, 2011 | Fiction, New Releases, Young Adults
All right, listen up, this book is awesome! I absolutely loved it! It is about the top 10 girls in a beauty pageant. While on their way to where the last part of the beauty pageant is being held, their plane crashes.
At first, Miss Texas takes over and, instead of trying to allow them to get used to the island, she wants them to work on all of their pageant stuff. The girls protest and they start searching for the other half of the group that Miss Texas didn't realize was missing. While they are out there, they realize

The news had been announced way back in January, but the buzz has only become especially evident in the last week or so. The wait is finally over for readers not conversant in Japanese, because the English translation of Haruki Murakami’s epic trilogy will finally be released.
The window of my local bookstore is adorned by a floor-to-wall length display of the cover, which features the bottom half of a woman’s face and the title of the long-awaited book: 1Q84. As you will no doubt have read, but which I will repeat here, the title is a play on George

Lanterns on the Levee
by Mackenzie M. October 21st, 2011 | Classics
Once in a while it is nice to read a classic that is both enlightening and historically oriented. The southern classic, Lanterns on the Levee, by William Alexander Percy, is both entertaining, and a beautifully written, factual, portrayal of life in the Delta region of Mississippi in the early 1900s. Percy wrote the novel as an autobiography, but the beautiful, vivid imagery boosts it to “classic” status. It is so well written that a read of the novel will take you on a journey into the quintessential land of southern traditions and events.
