Christopher Moore turns Shakespeare’s classic play on its ear as the eponymous protagonist steals the show in this hilarious homage. Power plays seldom do well by the little fellows, and FOOL does a great job of puncturing the pretensions of its characters.

This is my favorite contemporary spy novel, in great part due to the author’s 33 years of CIA experience running agents in denied area operations around the world. Jason Matthews incorporates so much of his tradecraft into these books that the CIA was surprised how little was censored.

The eternal and divine meet the ordinary and mundane in these gorgeous poems. Many are about the moment just before something "other than the physical" meets the physical world, the human person. The language is lush, the forms diverse. I loved this collection.

Alice McDermott’s dazzling novel, THE NINTH HOUR, turns on the contradictions that confound our need to become reconciled with mortality. The empathetic characters, at once agents and benefactors of Christian charity, grow to realize not just the grace but also the hubris, of their faith. A stunning work of generational storytelling that is compulsively readable and deeply thought provoking, McDermott is a master artisan of humanity.

Despite the title, this book by the TV critic of FRESH AIR is not a study of a particular era. It's a history of television wisely offered in a series of short essays on shows that are excellent, influential, or both, and it even includes interviews with some of the key people. The way it's organized is great for browsing, but don't be surprised at the impulse to barrel through the whole book.
