You Are Not a Gadget
Review by Sam Adams, eMusic
An argument that people have altered their expectations to sync with technology
It's easy to write off most jeremiads about the dire potentialities of online culture as the work of Luddites and old fogeys (not to mention thinly veiled reprisals like Lee Siegel's Against the Machine). But you'd have to twist yourself into some serious knots to paint Jaron Lanier as anti-tech. A dreadlocked computer scientist who helped...
The Swan Thieves
Review by Leah Friedman, eMusic
A page-turning tale of art and obsession
Not content to jump back on the vampire bandwagon, even after her success with the Dracula-centric The Historian, Elizabeth Kostova moves into the dreamy world of the fine arts with her newest work, The Swan Thieves. Shifting between 1879 France and present-day Washington D.C., Thieves presents us with the enigmatic Robert Oliver — a fantastically skilled artist —...
The Help
Review by Jami Attenberg, eMusic
A thrilling, immersive, multi-narrator audiobook experience — not to be missed
Feeling more like a classic radio theatrical presentation than the average audiobook, The Help is one of the best dramatic spoken interpretations of a book to arrive in a long time.

I Am Ozzy
Review by Patrick Rapa, eMusic
I Am Ozzy, And So Can You
Let’s raise a glass for the ghost writers, the co-writers, the written-withs who dare to transcribe the ramblings and mis-recollections of fried celebrity minds and then somehow alchemize them into coherent, linear stories. And let’s send a case of scotch to I Am Ozzy “contributor” Chris Ayres who, in a miracle worthy of the gospels, sat down with the Prince of Darkness and walked away with a...

Baseball Books
The structure and rhythm found in nine innings of baseball are unique among sports. The dynamics of the game, from the one-on-one clashes between batters and pitchers to the economic relationships between owners and players, have inspired countless narratives. Journalists and essayists write gripping explorations of everything from statistics to scandals, and the athletes themselves contribute decade-spanning biographi...

Books That Thrill
You've seen them in airports, and on the morning commute. They're littered along beaches, foiled letters glittering in the sun. A good thriller is its own kind of travel — all-consuming, briskly-paced and easily digested. Escapism.
Essentially, all thrillers are about a threat to human happiness, whether it's grand government conspiracies, computer hackers, terrorist plots, serial killers or bitter ex-lovers. ...
