May ‘08 Book List

Jump to Comments

1.  Never Eat Alone, Keith Ferrazzi.  Your typical networking, business motivation book.  It was fine.  Just skip the book and read some inspirational quotes.  

2.  Queen of Babble, Meg Cabot.  The first in the series and much better than the Manhattan set sequel.  Ann Arbor student Lizzie Nichols gets into adventures and misadventures in England and France, falls in love, and saves the day.  Cute.

3.  Size 12 is Not Fat, Meg Cabot.  The first in this murder mystery series.  Heather Wells, fallen pop star, is an NYU assistant dorm director, as Cabot was in her twenties.  It’s clear that Cabot identifies with Wells, and it’s another funny, charming beach read. 

4.  Frank Lloyd Wright, Ada Louise Huxtable.  Counters some of the untruths told in the FLW autobiography and explains that Wright was two men: the man he saw and the man of reality.  Informative and insightful about why he was the way he was.
