The Infinities (Borzoi Books)
by: John Banville
Somewhere, someone will read this book and comprehend the various implications pulling and pushing between the stories of the mortals and the immortals, between the conventional narrative and the insertion of the author as the sort of god that cannot fully grasp his own creation. On my own somewhat reduced level of comprehension I can only offer that Banville has again managed to create a text that without warning illuminates some of the more profound details of existence, some of the most disjunctive associations, all within a playful fluidity of seemingly casual observation.

59 Seconds: Think a Little, Change a Lot (Borzoi Books)
by: Richard Wiseman
A book that delivers exactly what it promises. Takes many "self help" issues, (Happiness, procrastination, etc), gives a short synopsis of current scientific results on the subject (i.e. independent tests), quotes his sources if you want to validate further, then summarizes what steps you should take based on the scientific evidence. All in a easy to read, quick learning format. Really enjoying the book.

Civil War Wives: The Lives and Times of Angelina Grimke Weld, Varina Howell Davis, and Julia Dent Grant (Borzoi Books)
by: Carol Berkin
In recent years, Americans have combined their passion for Civil War history with an interest in women's studies. Carol Berkin's book, "Civil War Wives" (2009) combines this themes of the conflict and its women. She offers biographies of three women: Angela Grimke Weld (1805 --- 1879), Varina Howell Davis (1826 -- 1906); and Julia Dent Grant(1826 -- 1902) who married famous husbands. Berkin explores the lives of these women before, during and after their marriages. She tries to understand the different ways in which her subjects understood their own independence and marriages in an era in which women were widely-believed to properly occupy "separate spheres", centering upon home and family, from men.
