(07/10/11) Sean Cliver, a former native of Wisconsin, started out in the graphic arts profession, designing skateboard graphics for companies such as Powell-Peralta, World Industries, Blind, 101, Birdhouse, and Hook-Ups, but eventually sidetracked into the writing trade with the formation of Big Brother skateboard magazine in 1992. During his tenure on the magazine staff, he was one of the core individuals responsible for the creation and production of the Big Brother skateboard video series, the more absurd aspects of which eventually led to the creation of jackass on MTV in 2000. Under a variety of nebulous “producer” titles, Sean worked on the television series, as well as both jackass films and the Wildboyz television series. In addition to his Hollywood production work, he’s authored and compiled jackass the Movie: The Official Companion Book (2002), Disposable: A History of Skateboard Art (2004), and The Disposable Skateboard Bible (2009). He’s currently involved in the production of... See less

(11/29/09) Having escaped the idiocy of rural life in his growing-up-gay-in-the-Ozarks memoir America's Boy, the author returns to it in this flamboyant fish-out-of-water saga. Inspired by Thoreau, Rouse and his partner moved to a cottage near the Michigan resort town of Saugatuck in order to simplify; wean himself from his addictions to shopping, tanning and cable; and resolve childhood traumas by being brashly gay in a nonurban setting. Saugatuck is actually quite gay-friendly, but trials abound: the eerie quiet of the countryside, the apocalyptic snows, a marauding raccoon fended off with lip balm and breath spray, the scarcity of gourmet yuppie-chow, the humiliation of wearing waders instead of Kenneth Cole boots, the slow, unfashionable locals who ask, rather perceptively, 'Don't you ever take anything seriously... things that don't affect only you?' Rouse's battle with his own narcissism is a losing one; indeed, it feels like the real point of offering his pink-outfitted self to the... See less

(06/19/08) From Publishers Weekly In July 1961, Rotolo, a shy 17-year-old from Queens, met an up-and-coming young folk singer named Bob Dylan at an all-day folk festival at Riverside Church in Manhattan, and her life changed forever. For the next few years, Suze and Bobby lived a freewheeling life amid the bohemians in the emerging folk scene in Greenwich Village. Rotolo offers brief glimpses of the denizens populating the new music scene below 14th Street in the early '60s and recalls the excitement as writers and musicians like Dylan wandered in and out of each other's lives and apartments, trading music and lyrics to produce a new sound that would change American music. Yet as the woman who's clutching Dylan's arm on the cover of his second album Freewheelin' Bob Dylan, Rotolo doesn't give us a very freewheelin' memoir. She offers shallow, almost schoolgirl-like reflections on the man she loved and lived with for three years. In a dull and plodding manner, Rotolo provides no new insights into... See less

(11/13/09) "Clear some space on your bookshelf for Mitch Albom's, Have a Little Faith, the story of a faith journey that could become a classic. Those who were born into faith, have lost faith, or are still searching will all be engaged and challenged by this powerful story of "finding faith" in relationships with others and with something greater than ourselves. Never satisfied with easy answers or soft platitudes, Mitch explores some of life's greatest mysteries and unanswered questions with great honesty, depth and self reflection. " --Jim Wallis, CEO and Founder of Sojourners and author of The Great Awakening What if our beliefs were not what divided us, but what pulled us together? In Have a Little Faith, Mitch Albom offers a beautifully written story of a remarkable eight-year journey between two worlds--two men, two faiths, two communities--that will inspire readers everywhere. Albom's first nonfiction book since Tuesdays with Morrie, Have a Little Faith begins with an unusual request: an... See less

(12/19/09) From The Washington Post's Book World/washingtonpost.com Reviewed by Sybil Steinberg Southern whites' guilt for not expressing gratitude to the black maids who raised them threatens to become a familiar refrain. But don't tell Kathryn Stockett because her first novel is a nuanced variation on the theme that strikes every note with authenticity. In a page-turner that brings new resonance to the moral issues involved, she spins a story of social awakening as seen from both sides of the American racial divide. Newly graduated from Ole Miss with a degree in English but neither an engagement ring nor a steady boyfriend, Eugenia "Skeeter" Phelan returns to her parents' cotton farm in Jackson. Although it's 1962, during the early years of the civil rights movement, she is largely unaware of the tensions gathering around her town. Skeeter is in some ways an outsider. Her friends, bridge partners and fellow members of the Junior League are married. Most subscribe to the racist attitudes of the... See less

(11/29/09) Who made the first snowman? Who first came up with the idea of placing snowballs on top of each other, and who decided they would use a carrot for a nose? Most puzzling of all: How can this mystery ever be solved, with all the evidence long since melted? The snowman appears everywhere on practically everything -- from knickknacks to greeting cards to seasonal sweaters we plan to return. Whenever we see big snowballs our first impulse is to deck them out with a top hat. Humorist and writer Bob Eckstein has long been fascinated by this ubiquitous symbol of wintertime fun -- and finally, for the first time, one of the world's most popular icons gets his due. A thoroughly entertaining exploration, The History of the Snowman travels back in time to shed light on the snowman's enigmatic past -- from the present day, in which the snowman reigns as the King of Kitsch, to the Dark Ages, with the creation of the very first snowman. Eckstein's curiosity began playfully enough, but soon snowballed... See less

(09/06/09) Product Description In a society driven by celebutante news and myspace profiles, women of class, style and charm are hard to come by. The Audrey and Katharines of the world continue to lose their lustre as thongs, rehab and outrageous behaviour burn up the daily headlines. But, despite appearances, guys still want a girl they can take home to their mother, employers still like to see a tailored suit and peers still respect classy conduct. So is it possible to maintain old fashioned virtues in a modern world without looking like a starchy Amish grandma? Christy shows women how in this guide to glamorous style, professional success and true love...the classy way. Full of fun assignments, notable names and real-life examples, Christy offers a new look at seemingly 'old fashioned' advice. She covers diet, speech, work ethic, friends, relationships, manners, makeup and fashionable yet modest clothing, showing modern ladies how they can be beautiful, intelligent and fun while retaining...

(01/14/08) My good friend, Carole, sent me a copy of an official publication from a JAMES DEAN fan club. Inside was a lengthy story she had written recounting the 1988 trip that she and six other "die-hard Dean fans" (including Jimmy's boyhood friend, Bob Pulley) made to California, during which I escorted the group to several of the prominent Dean-related sites in Los Angeles. Happily reliving those days through Carole's recollections, I was inspired to lose myself in my copy of Dennis Stock's JAMES DEAN REVISITED. His JAMES DEAN: FIFTY YEARS AGO is essentially a special, retitled hardcover reissue with the photographs beautifully enlarged, and a few splendid ones previously unpublished now included. My copy - a gift from my employer in 1993 - is inscribed, "To a fellow alien who straddles two worlds...the art is in the living." My magazine-publishing boss bought me the book, but being a major fan, naturally, this essential book for Dean fans was already in my bookcase. I subsequently gave away... See less

(11/29/09) “The perfect stocking stuffer…in the vein of David Sedaris."—The Today Show “Today, anyone writing humorous true-to-life holiday essays will inevitably be compared to David Sedaris and Jean Shepherd—which isn’t unfair, as Sedaris’s Santaland Diaries and Shepherd’s A Christmas Story are the paragons of Christmas confessionals—but here the comparison is particularly apt. Like Sedaris, Greenwood is a gentle soul who isn’t afraid to poke fun at himself, and, also like Sedaris, he lovingly mines his eccentric family for material. Like Shepherd, his prose and delivery are simple and self-effacing, and he comes off as an engaging character.”—Kirkus "Those who loved the youthful recollections in David Sedaris' Me Talk Pretty One Day will cotton to David Valdes Greenwood's A Little Fruitcake. Valdes Greenwood is a little less nasty than Sedaris, and he finds more in the world to warm the heart, nevertheless he manages to find a somewhat similar stance: to plunk us down in the middle of a...

(12/20/09) The mother of Matthew Shepard shares her story about her son's death and the choice she made to become an international gay rights activist Today, the name Matthew Shepard is synonymous with gay rights, but before his grisly murder in 1998, Matthew was simply Judy Shepard's son. For the first time in book form, Judy Shepard speaks about her loss, sharing memories of Matthew, their life as a typical American family, and the pivotal event in the small college town that changed everything. The Meaning of Matthew follows the Shepard family in the days immediately after the crime, when Judy and her husband traveled to see their incapacitated son, kept alive by life support machines; how the Shepards learned of the incredible response from strangers all across America who held candlelit vigils and memorial services for their child; and finally, how they struggled to navigate the legal system as Matthew's murderers were on trial. Heart-wrenchingly honest, Judy Shepard confides with readers... See less

(06/03/09) From Booklist By definition, the memoir is a self-indulgent genre, as the author spins memories as remembered, perhaps not accurately, and definitely one-sided. Boyt’s exhaustive and exhausting memoir of her lifelong obsession with Judy Garland is marked with passages of beautiful writing and occasional spotlights of self-awareness. However, readers will be drawn to this train wreck of a painful, exasperating, yet utterly compelling life story of a woman wholly enamored of one of Hollywood’s greatest celebrities. Since her first viewing of The Wizard of Oz, Boyt has never let go of her single-minded obsession with Judy Garland, who died before Boyt was born. Boyt compulsively chases down every snippet of gossip, mundane details, and loose connections regarding Garland and relentlessly tweaks them to fit into her own life. Readers will ponder if the author is to be admired for never giving up her passion or scorned for refusing to see the truth. For readers who have ever wondered what a... See less

(03/20/08) From Booklist Seven years ago, Matthew Shepard was murdered--and became the eye of a media hurricane in Laramie, Wyoming, that culminated in the arrival of Baptist minister Fred Phelps to picket the funeral with signs reading "Matt burns in hell" and "The Wages of Gay Sin is Death." Patterson, Shepard's best friend and a "tomboy" with three gay brothers in her large Irish family, marshaled support for foiling Phelps' espousal of the killers at their trial, thereby launching herself as global activist and spokeswoman for gay acceptance. She went on to become a consultant for The Laramie Project, an award-winning play later filmed by HBO, and reinvent herself to carry half of the Derek and Romaine Show on satellite radio. Her often-hilarious stories of budding-lesbian girlhood offset by summer vacations in Denver with a dying brother; of her undergraduate career as one of the Casper Queers (of Casper College, where she met Shepard); and of Shepard's funeral-turned-media-circus retrace...
