Gonzo:  The Life of Hunter S. Thompson, written Corey Seymour & Jann S. Wenner

Starred Review. Uproarious and unpredictable, this oral biography is a fitting look at the turbulent life of Gonzo journalism pioneer Hunter S. Thompson (1937-2005), a life surrounded by many but understood by few: "always pushing," Thompson "created a kind of inner circle of people who stood the test." That circle is well represented among the volume's many "voices," including ex-wife Sandy Thompson and their son, Juan, longtime collaborator Ralph Steadman, actors Johnny Depp and Jack Nicholson, and old friends Porter Bibb and Ed Bastian.

Zoom, The Global Race to Fuel the Car of the Future, written by Vijay Vaitheeswaran & Iain Carson

A stirring call to arms urging Americans to demand that the government act now to meet the challenges of the global warming and to tackle the country's addiction to oil.

The Choice, written by Nicholas Sparks

The far-reaching implications of several seemingly ordinary choices made in Beaufort, N.C. veterinarian Travis Parker and his next-door neighbor Gabrielle Holland, a physician's assistant and recent arrival.  After an inauspicious first meeting where Gabby accuses Travis's boxer of impregnating her purebred collie, the two fall hard for each other.  Already dating someone else seriously, Gabby is faced with a dilemma: whether to stick with longtime boyfriend Kevin, or get involved with Travis.  The first part of the tale paints a vivid picture of her decision-making process and its effects on Travis and Gabby's lives.  That sets up Part II, which takes place 11 years later when Travis faces a life and death decision following a car accident.
