From back cover:
Tales from a mountain mining town in the Cascades, Roslyn, Washington c. 1900-1940
Jerry Morris, Roslyn, Washington's barber, was born and raised in this fascinating and diverse coal mining town. Its inhabitants' colorful memories motivated him to save many of the stories that friends and family had told him at home and in his shop. Jerry has an ear for tall stories and folklore, just like the barber he plays in the television series "Northern Exposure," which is also filmed in Roslyn -- often in Jerry's barbershop. In this book, Jerry has faithfully recorded the tales residents tell about their unique town...before the last storyteller is gone.

From the jacket: This engrossing biographical drama tells the story of Alan Turing, the British mathmatician who won praise from Winston Churchill for cracking the German code called Enigma during World War II. Despite all he had done for his country, Mr. Turing's life ends tragically when he admints his homosexuality to the police while reporting a routine burglary and they are duty-bound to prosecute him. A heartbreaking account of an honorable character led to his doom by a bigoted era.
My copy includes photos of the original cast, lead by Derek Jacobi.

Listening to this book has almost broken me of my fast-food habit, especially at the subject chain where I had been pulling up to the drive-through window 3 to 5 times a week. This book also has me reading labels more often at the grocery store, and only skimming the center aisles of processed stuff. I walked into the discount bread store the other day, read a few labels, and three minutes later walked out without buying a thing! Thank you, Morgan Spurlock!

This book is a standard "how to" reference for volunteer coordinators. While written with an emphasis on church settings, its basic lessons can be applied to projects in many other types of organizations and settings.

This is a great read. Non-fiction history is my favorite leisure reading topic, but I tend to read the introductions and particular chapters, and then flip through the rest. That was not the case with Suzanne Lebsock's "A Murder in Virginia: Southern Justice on Trial." She sets the scene, puts the reader in the midst of the action with attention to the prevailing attitudes of the time (not judging the past by present, as some "historians" do), helps the reader keep the many characters straight, and then writes the narrative as a mystery novel.
A particularly moving part that stayed with me (and I later reread and found just as effective), describes the unlikely coalition of white neighbors who created a diversion and helped the accused escape (in custody) from a large crowd gathered -- some with ropes -- at the scene on the evening of the murder.
