'What's New' Lists

Last week we updated the What's New lists.

This time there's some interesting new fiction, such as Haruki Murakami, After Dark ; Sherman Alexie, Flight ; Susan Vreeland, Luncheon of the Boating Party ; Rick Moody, Right Livelihoods : Three Novellas ; Annie Dillard, The Maytrees.

There are non-fictions with entertaining titles (and subtitles: we could do a whole blog post on seductive subtitles): Almost human : making robots think by Lee Gutkind ; The black swan : the impact of the highly improbable by Nassim Nicholas Taleb ; The cigarette century : the rise, fall, and deadly persistence of the product that defined America by Allan M. Brandt ; Colors of Provence : traditions, recipes, and home decorations from the south of France by Michel Biehn ; Dreams of Africa in Alabama : the slave ship Clotilda and the story of the last Africans brought to America by Sylviane A. Diouf ; The Lonely Planet guide to the middle of nowhere ; Why beauty is truth : a history of symmetry by Ian Stewart.

Ok. Better stop. There's vast numbers of yummy non-fiction, new audio and movies, and so on. Many of these titles have just been ordered and are not here yet; but you can place holds on them. If you are browsing the lists, don't forget to click on the cover image or "Summaries, Reviews, Etc." for reviews, tables of contents, and lots more information.
