 Candy girl : a year in the life of an unlikely stripper by Cody, Diablo Local girl leaves the office and takes off her clothes. Hysterical. posted Jul 12, 2009 at 12:15PM

 Persepolis by Satrapi, Marjane, 1969- Clean lines and a compelling coming-of-age story make this book an excellent introduction to both graphic novels and the recent political history of Iran. posted Apr 28, 2009 at 1:43PM

 Amphigorey : fifteen books by Gorey, Edward, 1925-2000 Don't be fooled: Gorey's books are NOT for children! Bizarre, surreal, disturbing, and funny, I recommend this book to lovers of Shel Silverstein and Twin Peaks. posted Apr 28, 2009 at 1:42PM

 Watchmen by Moore, Alan, 1953- This novel is compelling, brilliant, and unpredictable. I missed my bus stop on several occasions because I was so absorbed! posted Apr 28, 2009 at 1:40PM

 Leadbelly by Jess, Tyehimba If you ever get a chance to see this poet perform, take it! The next best alternative is to read his poems out loud. posted Apr 28, 2009 at 1:33PM

 A walk in the woods : rediscovering America on the Appalachian Trail by Bryson, Bill This book made me want to go out and hike the Appalacian Trail! posted Mar 26, 2009 at 6:55PM

 Looking for the Mahdi by Wood, N. Lee This features a female protagonist, rare for cyberpunk; even rarer, Wood breaks from the sci-fi male-fantasy buxom babe tradition and makes the character plain. She even goes undercover as a man at one point; hooray for gender diversity! posted Mar 7, 2009 at 4:37PM

 Nightwatch by Luk'ianenko, Sergei If the Russians made The Matrix but it was about magicians and vampires, this would be it. The following books in the series are Daywatch and Twilight Watch. I also recommend the movies (but as always, read the books first!) posted Mar 7, 2009 at 4:32PM

 Radio freefall by Jarpe, Matthew An excellent first novel. I can't wait to see what Jarpe produces next! posted Mar 7, 2009 at 4:31PM

 The devil in the white city : murder, magic, and madness at the fair that changeby Larson, Erik I recommend this book to both true-crime and architecture buffs. The chapters alternate between two parallel stories, that of the team of architects designing the 1893 Chicago World's Fair and a vicious serial killer. posted Mar 1, 2009 at 3:58PM
