Saw these books on Readers Advisory desk when I arrived at 11 this morning; seemed interesting.

Joe Speedboat. Tommy Wieringa. translated from the Dutch by Sam Garrett.

Nothing happened and then it did: a chronicle in fact and fiction. Jake Silverstein.


Skylark. Dezso Kosztolányi ; introduction by Péter Esterházy ; translated by Richard Aczel.

Stations West. Allison Amend. (Recommended it to a patron; she took it.)


Plus, a patron asked for William Trevor's latest book, Love and Summer.

In NY Times book review: Theodore Roosevelt, Empire Builder.

‘Muriel Spark: The Biography’ (well reviewed in Journal last week)

Wanna laugh and get angry at the same time? Books by Republicans. NO APOLOGY. The Case for American Greatness. Mitt Romney. and one by Karl Rove. Oy.

The Radical Center: The History of an Idea

The Tea Party is new. But this is not the first time we’ve seen an angry populist politics emerge from the American middle class.
