She writes with beguiling humor about learning to take care of a Renaissance palace with its 104 frescoes and 44 pairs of shutters (all of which have to

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 9 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs Publisher's Summary: Prompted by the emotional loss of two friends, one a trapper and one a beekeeper, Susan Brind Morrow explores the implications of their very different relationships to the natural world. Ultimately, these two men are a touchstone for a memoir of the land itself, the rich soil of the Finger Lakes region in upstate New York. Morrow's richly evocative writing traces the connections among various realms of culture and nature, time and language, and jolts us into thinking anew about our profound relationship to the natural world. Critic Reviews: "Lyrical memoir....Morrow's language is rich and sensuous, for she thinks like a poet." (Publ

The execution of a rodent carried out with military precision and utter horror. Telemarketing revenge. A different kind of "roof work". Dating an undertaker who drives a mini-van. This is the fabric of Augusten Burroughs's life: a collection of true stories that are universal in their appeal yet unabashedly intimate, stories that shine a flashlight into both dark and hilarious places. With Magical Thinking, Augusten Burroughs goes where other memoirists fear to tread. ©2004 Island Road, LLC; (P)2004 Audio Renaissance, a division of Holtzbrinck Publishers, LLC Critic R

Dean Narrator: Boyd Gaines, John W. Dean Format: Abridged Length: 6 hrs Language: English Release date: 10-07-01 Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 40 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs Publisher's Summary: It seemed a straightforward choice of a relatively young, academically outstanding and politically seasoned lawyer who shared Richard Nixon's philosophy of "strict constructionism." As Nixon's White House Counsel, John Dean reveals for the first time that the choice was anything but straightforward. The truth is that Rehnquist's nomination was the result of a dramatic, Nixonian roller coaster. Rehnquist was a last-minute longshot who had once been dismissed by Nixon as a "clown." Only John Dean - Rehnquist's champion at the time - knows the full, improbable

Lewis Subtitle: Memories and Reflections Author: John Lawlor Narrator: Bernard Mayes Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 39 mins Language: English Release date: 08-15-01 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 35 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs Publisher's Summary: These sketches are complemented by an exposition of Lewis' science fiction and Chronicles of Narnia. There is also an assessment of Lewis' neglected notion of "happiness," noting its links with 19th-century English romanticism. After measuring Lewis's scholarly achievement, Professor Lawlor concludes with his own understanding of this complex man, in whom "maddening obstinacies and sword-sharp disclaimers co-existed with an untroubled awareness of the highest order."
