Al
Franken's new book picks up where Lies and The Al Franken Show
leave off. Armed with an arsenal of facts and research (and
comedy!), Al is ready to take the fight to the Bush administration
and its right-wing cronies. Intelligent, insightful, inspiring,
and laugh-out-loud funny, Al's hard-hitting work of political
satire is poised to become the most talked-about book of the
year.

By Frank
McCourt
With all the
wit, charm, irreverence, and poignancy that made Angela's Ashes
and 'Tis so universally beloved, Frank McCourt tells his most
exhilarating story yet-how he became a writer. In TEACHER
MAN Frank turns his attention to the subject that he
most often talks about in his lectures-teaching: why it's so
important, why it's so undervalued.

By Garrison
Keillor
In GOOD
POEMS FOR HARD TIMES, Keillor has pondered over the
archives of his beloved Writer's Almanac radio show
to select a batch of consoling, rousing, and truthful poems
guaranteed to raise flagging spirits or to inspire those in
need of a dose of wisdom or honesty. But these poems are not
about suffering. They reach us and stricken friends by holding
out a picture of the grace of ordinary life.
