DescriptionCall him Pavel Medved or Paulie or Paul Theroux. It doesn't matter - his memoirs are a hoax. He's a writer with no story of his own, so he's reconstructed his past, giving it wit and life, tragedy and pathos, and imposed an order on it through careful editing. Inordinately fond of train travel, he takes the listener on a journey over a career spanning 30 years, and with many guises, from his early days as a fledging novelist in literary London, under the wing of the rapacious Lady Max, to his grief at finding himself alone, at age 50, in the town of his youth. The real Paul Theroux weaves this stylish and clever biography of a writer whose fall from grace sets him adrift until he recognizes the redeeming power of his art.

DescriptionAs the battle over gun ownership heats up throughout the country, the National Rifle Association is placing itself in the center of the controversy - and has in turn become the subject of questions. Pulitzer Prize-winning muckraker Jack Anderson exposes the very core of this organization and the minds behind it: how the NRA got its ominous start, the possible self-delusions of its leaders, the propaganda it uses to frame the debate, its close connections to militant militia groups, and the power it wields over police officers, legislatures...even its own members.

DescriptionRick Reilly has been a senior sports writer for Sports Illustrated for the past 17 years, and has been named "Sports Writer of The Year" seven times. Now, he pokes his nose into the world of golf. How does he do it? By caddying ("looping") for top players, celebrities, and some really bad run-of-the-mill golfers, Reilly gains insight into the minds of golfers, their winning or less-than-winning ways, and what they actually mutter when they're in the middle of play. Even though Reilly doesn't know a thing about actual caddying, Jack Nicklaus, David Duval, Tom Lehmann, Deepak Chopra, Donald Trump, Casey Martin, and a blind golfer let him fumble through the motions at their sides. The result is a hilarious book of wisdom and humor.
