New this week from Hachette one of my favorite authors, John Feinstein, delivers another golf book. MOMENT OF GLORY: The Year Underdogs Ruled Golf hits bookstore shelves this week. The book is the story of the 2003 golf season in which Tiger Woods struggled with his golf swing and didn't win a single major.
Feinstein always has impeccable sources and is a storyteller who knows how to keep the narrative going. He is one of the few writers of whom I can say I will read everything he writes that I can get my hands on.

Avis Cardella gives us SPENT: Memoirs of a Shopping Addict, a cautionary tale for those among us with the compulsion to acquire "stuff" in a search for happiness. I am interested in people and their stories and this one has the potential to be a compelling and educational read.

Out in paperback this week is LOSING MUM & PUP: A Memoir by CHRISTOPHER BUCKLEY. This book chronicles the 11-month period where Christopher Buckley lost both his mother and his father, the illustrious William F. Buckley. While I cannot say i was ever fond of William F. Buckley, I did always find him intriguing. Buckley the Younger is usually pretty funny and sarcastic in his writing and I am curious to see how he handles the difficult task of writing about the loss of both parents.
