Barnes and Noble: Listen Up, Mr. President by Helen Thomas and Craig Crawford
1 recommendation
"I am not sure why they don't just give Ms. Thomas her own room at the White House - well before many of us were old enough to vote, she has been keeping Press Secretaries on their toes by asking the questions we would want to ask if we were given a press pass. And now she weighs with her own assessment of the Oval Office. Essential reading for journalists, politicos and president wannabes - rega..."

Amazon: The Chicagoan: A Lost Magazine of the Jazz Age: by Neil Harris with Teri J. Edelstein
1 recommendation
"In eighth grade, my English and Social Studies teachers split us into small groups and tasked us with preparing an essay and skit about a given era of American history. Lucky me, the dancer wanna-be, we were assigned the Jazz Age. And so began my fascination with all things flapper, Art Deco and Chicago. If you know someone who loves the town or the era or both, they will appreciate the unique ..."

Lions For Lambs

"Tom Cruise is at his best when he's despicable. And well, Meryl Streep is always at her best. This is a good political drama about complacency, complicity, power and sacrifice."

Moleskine Notebooks

"Really, these things have been cool so long, they're almost a cliche. Normally I need something much smaller for pocket storage, but twice I've bought Moleskine notebooks, and twice lost them while traveling. I'm hoping the next one chooses to remain with me."

From Beirut to Jerusalem
1 recommendation
"I'm probably on a watchlist now, between this book and Persepholis. This is a meaty book, and one that requires your full attention. That said, the prose is simple and fluid, but it doesn't talk down to the uninitiated, either. When I went to journalism school, this is who I wanted to be when I grew up. Maybe there's still a chance. But in the meantime, live a foriegn correspondent's life vicar..."

Uniden TRU8885 Cordless 5.8 GHz Digital Phone

"The reason I stopped getting a daily paper is because the bits worth reading took up about 2 pages. It didn't seem worth it. This collection of newspaper articles by journalist Pete Dexter makes me wonder if I made a mistake. In this wide-ranging collection, Dexter tackles tough subjects with compassion and sometimes with humor. Although some of it is difficult because of the sticky subject matter..."
Dylan Speaks - Dvd Of Interviews With Bob Dylan

"because almost anything Bob Dylan is good, but this is particularly good because BD always loved to toy wth the press. Regardless, even when he toys, he is self-revealing, whether he intends to be or not. Not to be missed."
