The Divine Secret
By Joe Kovacs

Why are we all here? What is the meaning of life? What in the world is God actually doing with us? And what really happens when we die?

These fundamental questions have haunted philosophers and theologians alike since the dawn of human existence. But what if the answer were already right in front of us? What if it were hiding in plain sight, inside a book you probably already have, the Holy Bible?

The truth is: It is. Read More

Trembling in the Ivory Tower
Kenneth Lasson

In this gem of a book, scholar and wit Kenneth Lasson takes on all manner of excesses in the Ivory Tower which, from his insider's viewpoint, constitute little less than a full-scale assault on American values and mores. The ideological warfare is being waged by a slew of vociferous academicians whose predominance is manifested by stifling academic bureaucracies, radical feminist and deconstructionist faculties, and overbearing speech and conduct codes -- all in invidious pursuit of narrow but pervasive political agendas. Lasson uses his sharply pointed pen to skewer both the powerful and the petty, from perpetually outraged law professors and would-be literati to ethnic hatemongers with tenure.

The Art of Acquiring:
A Portrait of Etta & Claribel Cone
by Mary Gabriel

For four and a half decades, Etta and Claribel Cone roamed artists' studios and art galleries in Europe, building one of the largest, most important art collections in the world. At one time, these two independently wealthy Jewish women from Baltimore received offers from virtually every prominent art museum in the world, all anxious to house their hitherto private assemblage of modern art. In 1949, they awarded all their holdings to the Baltimore Museum of Art. In 2002, that collection was valued at nearly $1 billion, making them two of the most philanthropic art collectors of our age.

Violent Screen: A Critic's 13 Years on the Frontlines of Movie Mayhem by famed novelist and Washington Post movie critic Stephen Hunter

"When I began in this business, the common fodder of low-end cinema was the slasher pic: For week after week I'd head out on Friday afternoon to see some el cheapo atrocity flick that specialized not merely in depicting violence itself, but in celebrating it from the point of view of the killer, of encouraging us to feel his pleasure as he drew near to the kill and to exult in his strength as he delivered the blow on the cowering, quivering, and almost always female victim.
