A Continual Feast

Hard-core fans of Karon's fictional Mitford will welcome her latest offering, a sequel of sorts to Patches of Godlight. Like Patches, this "commonplace book" collects favorite quotations of Karon's protagonist Father Tim on things quotidian and spiritual. Everything from John Wesley's "Direction for Singing" to witticisms by Lauren Bacall are here. Book lovers will delight in the musings about books, such as the Italian proverb "There is no worse robber than a bad book." There are reflections on aging, a few felicitous selections from Proverbs and some wise instructions about prayer.

Don't Know Much About World Myths (Don't Know Much About...)

Grade 4-8–In his characteristic question-and-answer format, Davis takes on world myths and includes those of the South Pacific, Meso- and South America, and sub-Saharan Africa. The author touches on a number of stories and adventures from Aeneas to Enkidu and Gilgamesh to Shiva. However, the format, which may have served history or biography well, is a little out of place here. It interrupts the flow of language and story that is at the heart of myth. In his introduction, Davis relates how, as a fidgety fifth-grader, he was literally saved by a teacher who read aloud from The Odyssey.

Why We Get Fat: And What to Do About It (Audiobook)

An eye-opening, myth-shattering examination of what makes us fat, from acclaimed science writer Gary Taubes.
In his New York Times best seller, Good Calories, Bad Calories, Taubes argued that our diet's overemphasis on certain kinds of carbohydrates - not fats and not simply excess calories - has led directly to the obesity epidemic we face today. The result of thorough research, keen insight, and unassailable common sense, Good Calories, Bad Calories immediately stirred controversy and acclaim among academics, journalists, and writers alike. Michael Pollan heralded it as "a vitally important book, destined to change the way we think about food."
