She Flew the COOP: A Novel Concerning Life, Death, Sex and Recipes in Limoges, Louisiana by Michael Lee West

Leslie Richman, June 28, 2012

"A Novel Concerning Life, Death, Sex and Recipes in Limoges, Louisiana"...
She Flew The Coop is perfect summer reading, full of all the innuendo, gossip, and good food you'd expect from a great Southern novel. The characters are at once hilarious, pitiable, and intriguing. The story will hold you until the very last page!

How to Go Further: A Guide to Sustainable Organic Living with Woody Harrelson and Friends by Ron Mann

Leslie Richman, March 19, 2012

Go Further is a great read, especially as we enter Spring. Perfect timing for downsizing, garden-growing, and making changes to our relationship with the Earth and the people and creatures with whom we share it! The book is full of down-to-earth talk and tips on making true changes in your life to support sustainability. The fact that it is written by a celebrity fades into the background as you soak up info on food, resources, consumption habits, and more.

Notes on a Life by Eleanor Coppola

Leslie Richman, January 24, 2012

Notes on a Life is a really enjoyable read. Eleanor Coppola presents a vivid picture of her life as both a creative individual and a wife and mother within the famed Coppola family. She writes descriptively and with emotion. The book is a nice balance of behind the scenes looks at film-making and heartfelt discussions of personal experiences. I've gained a new appreciation and admiration for the entire family!

Diane Arbus: A Biography by Patricia Bosworth

Leslie Richman, December 14, 2011

I picked this book up out of curiosity and began it with minimal knowledge of Diane Arbus or her work. When I turned the last page, I had absorbed a world of information not only about Arbus, but about the cultural world in which she lived and created art. Bosworth tells a very personal story of an incredibly talented and troubled artist, while accurately presenting a dynamic time in American art as well. Highly recommended, and probably one I'll read again!

The Silk Road by Jane Summer

Leslie Richman, August 30, 2011

Picked this book on a whim and was pleasantly suprised to find myself immersed in a pitch perfect coming of age tale. Summer somehow conveys the whismy of youth and exhaustion of adulthood with equal deftness as she tells the tale of Paige, a teenager navigating her way through high school, tense family life, and a hard-to-define relationship with an adult woman. The Silk Road sharpened my mind, entertained me, and left just the right amount of mystery untold.
