One Good Deed

 It's that time of year when many of us want to do something differently in the upcoming twelve months.  I know, I know, there are countless books that have us making task lists, examining our most inner thoughts, etc. and all of these have their place, but this little book is just about reminding us that it really isn't so difficult to make a difference - however small - in someone else's life.  Giving examples from her own experiences and those of others, Erin McHugh has us open our eyes a bit wider to all the simple things that we can do to make things just a little bit better.

Where The BFF?

 Inspired by the realization that he had no black friends as he celebrated President Obama's historic victory in 2008, author Tanner Colby (Belushi: A Biography, The Chris Farley Show: A Biography in Three Acts) set out to learn the history of integration in the United States. The result is this often humorous, fascinating book that examines the long and short term effects of  the civil rights legislation of the 1960s which legally ended American apartheid. The book focuses on four main areas: education, real estate, employment, and religion. An important read.
