It's memoir time!  You had to suspect that post-mortem titles by Edward Kennedy and Patrick Swayze would surge up the charts, but possibly because I'm hopeless naive, I thought once the shocking revelation from Mackenzie Phillips' book was Oprahfied might keep her off the bestseller lists.  Malcolm Gladwell (who has a collection of his New Yorker articles coming this month) and Steve Harvey may not ever go away, but otherwise there was largely a clean sweep of the charts for new titles.  David Jeremiah, a California pastor, shows up for a month, but to balance things out, we have noted atheist Richard Dawkins.  While I'm trying to wash the image of Glenn Beck in a weird miltary outfit from my brain, the book of the month might be the utterly depressing but fascinating Pat Tillman bio by Jon Krakauer.  First of all, Krakauer is a masterful writer, but the amount of research he put into trying discover what really happened to Tillman in Afghanistan and how he got there makes his book nearly a must read.

About the author:
Dan Gibson is a writer and editor who cannot resist the siren's call of Tucson, Arizona, moving away several times only to be drawn back again.  He joined The Editorial Department in spring of 2009 to co-manage Between the Lines and to monitor and report on all manner of publishing trends. Between bouts of glazed-over staring at a computer screen, he tries to spend as much time as he can with his family, the stack of compact discs piled on his desk and playing soccer.
 

TED Client Testimonials

"Something in my heart told me to have my work checked (proofread) a second time--and I'm so thankful I did. Kate Steele was spot-on, correcting my work that I received back in top notch shape--giving me a peace of mind. Just as important she was kind and treated me with respect and delivered my work in a timely manner."
