Pick of the Week
by The Editors of Discover Magazine and Dean Christopher
This entertaining and highly readable book, assembled by the editors of Discover magazine, offers little-known facts on such subjects such as sleep, birth, death, obesity, human anatomy, weather, the Internet and even duct tape. Much of the information avoids the trivial, however, touching on relevant topics such as the origins of biological warfare and the precariousness of airport security. This book has been written for a general audience, specifically those who are interesting in expanding the base of their knowledge in a useful and novel way.

Pick of the Week
by Dave Ihlenfeld
It was the ultimate post-college road trip: a year-long journey in a 27-foot-long fiberglass hotdog across the US and Europe. Rife with breakdowns, meaty puns, the burdens of instant celebrity and more Wiener Whistles than anyone could ever hope for, Ihlenfeld's uproarious recounting of his time behind the wheel is a coming-of-age story-as irreverent as it is touching-of learning about life, love, and (sausage) links, ultimately arriving at the realization that that the future is anything but a straight road.

Pick of the Week
by Julia Holmes
No woman will have Ben without a proper bachelor's suit . . . and the tailor refuses to make him one. Back from war with a nameless enemy, Ben finds that his mother is dead and his family home has been reassigned by the state. As if that isn t enough, he must now find a wife, or he ll be made a civil servant and given a permanent spot in one of the city s oppressive factories. Meanwhile, Meeks, a foreigner who lives in the park and imagines he s a member of the police, is hunted by the overzealous Brothers of Mercy. Meeks survival depends on his peculiar friendship with a police captain-but will that be enough to prevent his execution at the annual Independence Day celebration? A dark satire rendered with the slapstick humor of a Buster Keaton film, Julia Holmes debut marries the existentialism of Fyodor Dostoevsky s Notes from Underground to the strange charm of a Haruki Murakami novel. Meeks portrays a world at once hilarious and disquieting, in which frustrated revolutionaries and hopeful youths suffer alongside the lost and the condemned, just for a chance at the permanent bliss of marriage and a slice of sugar-frosted Independence Day cake.
