Booknotes, Brian Lamb



Booknotes:  America's Finest Authors on Reading, Writing, and the Power of Ideas by Brian Lamb is a series of short interviews with a huge number of authors.

Started: sometime in 2008
Completed: 2/1/2011
Recommendation: It is rather dated, so a book that was intended to be "current" is not.
Recommended by:  Found in a library book sale and was intrigued.
Review:

This book does not really lend itself to a review, so I'm just noting books that I'd like to read as a result of having read this book:

The Man in the Mirror:  The Life of Benedict Arnold, Clare Brandt
Edison:  Inventing the Century, Neil Baldwin
Lincoln, David Herbert Donald
A Bright Shining Lie:  John Paul Vann and America in Vietnam, Neil Sheehan
All of One Peace, Colman McCarthy
Failure is Impossible:  Susan B. Anthony in Her Own Words, Lynn Sherr
One Hundred Years of Solitude, Gabriel Garcia Marquez (recommended by Bill Clinton)
The Supreme Court: How it Was and How It Is, William Rehnquist
