Basketball Diaries $12.99 Very loosely based on the memoir of the same name, The Basketball Diaries transposes the late ’60s adolescence of writer/artist Jim Carroll to some unspecified time period at least 15 years later, further confusing the timeframe with three decades of rock music, some by Carroll himself. Jim (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his Catholic school chums are on the hottest basketball team in New York, but their friend Bobby (Michael Imperioli) languishes in the hospital with leukemia. In-between typically boyish adventures, Jim scribbles in his notebook and experiments with sex and drugs. His group of friends begins to disintegrate after coach Swifty (Bruno Kirby) not only makes a pass at Jim, but also catches him and his pals using drugs on the court and kicks them off the team. Out of school and on the streets, Jim turns tricks, betrays friends, robs stores, and deals drugs to feed his heroin addiction. Not even the efforts of former addict Reggie (Ernie Hudson) can cure Jim. Mark Wahlberg appears as one of Jim’s basketball and drug buddies, while Carroll himself makes a memorable cameo as an addict who describes the almost Catholic rituals of shooting heroin. ~ Brian J. Dillard, Rovi |

Clean Start $24.95 This Unusual Novel is set in Paris in the 1960s, where the vestiges of its storied Bohemian past still barely cling. It is a time when the new wave of feminism has not yet taken hold, when men furiously wave the double standard like a proud banner and, worse yet, are often indulged by their women.Jane, a young, insecure and unliberated Australian, goes all too far in overlooking her husband Tom’s blatantly philandering ways and his obsession with rating women’s legs: based on a scale of 100, he never awards less than 70, because legs like that would be beneath consideration, nor more than 90 because that would be too near perfection.One cold winter night in a cafe, a stunning woman sits down opposite the couple and reveals legs that immedately win Tom’s highest score. It turns out that the stranger is Australian, lonely and adrift. Jane invites her home to their dilapidated artist’s studio in Montparnasse where they discover how much of an outsider Sally really is. A bizarre relationship develops amongst the three.Clean Start is a shocking novel — both funny and sad — which deals with problems of sexuality, married love, creativity and self-definition. Its atmosphere is vividly evoked in cafes filled with painters and notebook scribblers, offbeat nightclubs, a fashion house, a street market, a seedy language school, a five-star hotel — all backdrops to the fascinating characters who refuse to conform to type. |

Dare to Prepare: How to Win Before You Begin $14.95 Over the course of a forty-year career in the worlds of law, sports, business, and politics, Ron Shapiro has worked with and advised an incredible variety of people. What he’s found is that the secret ingredient for getting into the winner’s circle is simply the discipline of methodical preparation: that old-school, step-by-step way of having all your ducks in a row, whether you are an executive getting ready to do a deal or make a speech; a pitcher studying the traits of opposing hitters and keeping a meticulous notebook of their strengths and weaknesses; an international trade negotiator who knows all about the issues and the people on the other side before sitting down at the table; or a surgeon who rehearses like a classical musician. Deep down, you know you should do it. But how often do you wing it and fly by the seat of your pants because “Gosh, I don’t have time . . . I’ve done this before . . . I know what I’m doing”? It is obvious that you have to get ready for whatever game you’re playing, but all too frequently methodical preparation is the missing ingredient in today’s world of instant analysis, easy access to information, and glibness that sounds good at first but is unconnected with the reality at hand. In Dare to Prepare, successful people such as wine guru Robert Parker, investment legend Bill Miller, pianist Leon Fleisher, Goldman Sachs partner Lisa Fontenelli, broadcaster Bob Costas, firefighter Ann Marie Tierney, New York Mets manager Willie Randolph, and many others share the way they apply discipline in preparing for career-changing games, deals, meetings, and interviews. Cal Ripken Jr. played thousands of games in the major leagues but prepared for each like it was his first. NPR host Liane Hansen has interviewed countless people but approaches each interview with the same meticulous research time and time again.Make sure there are |

Dare to Prepare: How to Win Before You Begin $26 Over the course of a forty-year career in the worlds of law, sports, business, and politics, Ron Shapiro has worked with and advised an incredible variety of people. What he’s found is that the secret ingredient for getting into the winner’s circle is simply the discipline of methodical preparation: that old-school, step-by-step way of having all your ducks in a row, whether you are an executive getting ready to do a deal or make a speech; a pitcher studying the traits of opposing hitters and keeping a meticulous notebook of their strengths and weaknesses; an international trade negotiator who knows all about the issues and the people on the other side before sitting down at the table; or a surgeon who rehearses like a classical musician.

Death Writes: A Curious Notebook $1.42 This unusual, stylish book takes on the pretense of being Death’s personal notebook, which has been unearthed and published as is. It is an alphabetized, visually dazzling collection of Death’s musings, doodles, and pronouncements, as well as trivia, quotations and statistics on the subject that Death him/herself has collected (in recurring sections called Death Notices ).What does Death have to say about art and artifacts, cannibals and consumerism, icons and vegetables, religion and hot-rods? A great deal, it seems.In his/her own words, Death observes the living with a questioning, somewhat cynical, eye, fascinated by how the living perceive death, the dying, and the afterlife. As such, on a broad scale, the book is a meditation on how our popular culture deals (or doesn’t deal) with Death; the narrative, precise and cunning, challenges our existing notions of Death, forcing us to face our fears and misgivings. Death Writes is a hip, avant-goth guide to that which both repels and fascinates. |
