Bringing it Larry King style:
It's always a special day the the BookDude headquarters when a new Bill Bryson book hits the shelves. This week the world is improved by AT HOME: A Short History of Private Life. Bryson takes a gander around the former Victorian parsonage in which he lives to bring us the "history of the world without leaving home." BookSpin hopes to have a guest review up soon about this book, so stay tuned.....Also out this week from former SNL cast member and current touring comic Jim Breuer is I'M NOT HIGH: (But I've Got a Lot of Crazy Stories about Life as a Goat Boy, a Dad, and a Spiritual Warrior). Published by Gotham, a subsidiary of Penguin, this book is advertised as a deeply personal but hilarious memoir....I'll publicize any book that is negative about Glenn Beck so TEARS OF A CLOWN: Glenn Beck and the Tea Bagging of America by Dana Milbank, a syndicated columnist with the Washington Post deserves mention....A new book that will probably get its fair share of publicity is WASHINGTON: A Life by Ron Chernow. Booklist calls it "A vastly enlightening, overwhelmingly engaging treatment of a great man...", so the history buff in the family would probably enjoy it.....and finally, now out in paperback comes a book that has been on my to-read list since the hardcover edition: The Fourth Star: Four Generals and the Epic Struggle for the Future of the United States Army by David Cloud and Greg Jaffe...
