Unauthorized America: A Travel Guide to the Places the Chamber of Commerce Won't Tell You About
by Vince Staten"The travel brochures never mention JFK's Love Nest, where he and Marilyn Monroe would meet for an after-noon tryst, or Elvis's Drugstore, where the King loaded up on downers. But let's face it: not everyone wants to spend summer vacation watching Junior slither down the water slide or trailing Grandpa as he treks from one historic marker to the next. Not everyone wants a Disney World vacation. This book boldly dares to take you where no travel brochures have taken you before, to the out-of-the-way sights and the offbeat vacation spots nobody touts. This is an underground guide to America, to the places that you Really want to see: where John Lennon was shot, where Margaret Mitchell was run over by a car, where Sean Penn punched out a photographer, where Fawn Hall shredded boss Ollie North's papers. These are the places the local Chamber of Commerce won't tell you about. But we will."

Wild Mind: Living the Writer's Life
by Natalie GoldbergNatalie Goldberg, who has published a novel, a book of poetry and books on how to be a writer, has written 62 3 to four page chapters, each focuses on elements of writing or the experiences shared by many writers in this book which is part memoir and part instruction manual. She is a practitioner of Zen Buddhism which influences her manner of appreciating everything in her life from her friends, family and acquaintances, to the taste of hot chocolate, the vastness of the sky and the energy you gain as you keep your pencil moving and write with truth and details. She provides many gentle suggestions for exercises meant to expand a writer's understanding of the vast possibilities writing can elucidate. Her tone is generous, humorous, nonthreatening, nonjudgmental, encouraging and down to earth. She shares a writer's moments of exquisite pleasure as new heights of self expression are reached and as the moments of self doubt, fear and frustration are borne. Most of all she welcomes anyone with the will to take time, on a regular basis, to write to proudly call themselves writers believing that as each person adopts the title of writer and writes with persistence and concentration through the rapture and pain of truth as they perceive it, they become practicing writers of worth.
