Kendra Wilkinson was a dental assistant in her
hometown of San Diego before she was discovered by Hugh Hefner and became a star
of the The Girls Next Door, which premiered in 2005. In 2009 Kendra left
the Mansion and began starring in Kendra, a reality show that follows her
as she embarks on her new life with husband Hank Baskett, who plays for the
Indianapolis Colts, and prepares for motherhood (their baby is due on Christmas
Day).
In 2007, Time magazine named him one of the
most influential novelists in the world. He has twice been short-listed for the
Man Booker Prize. The New York Times Book Review called him simply “a
genius.” Now David Mitchell lends fresh credence to The Guardian’s claim
that “each of his books seems entirely different from that which preceded it.”
The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet is a stunning departure for this

his own high standards. A bold and epic novel of a rarely visited point in
history, it is a work as exquisitely rendered as it is irresistibly readable.

As negative Utopias go, Suzanne Collins has
created a dilly. The United States is gone. North America has become Panem, a
TV-dominated dictatorship run from a city called the Capitol. The rest of Panem
is divided into 12 Districts (the former 13th had the bad judgment to revolt and
no longer exists). The yearly highlight in this nightmare world is the Hunger
Games, a bloodthirsty reality TV show in which 24 teenagers chosen by lottery
two from each District fight each other in a desolate environment called the
''arena.'' The winner gets a life of ease; the losers get death. The only
''unspoken rule'' is that you can't eat the dead contestants. Let's see the
makers of the movie version try to get a PG-13 on this baby.
The Road to Serfdom: Text and
Documents--The Definitive Edition (The Collected Works of F. A. Hayek)
An unimpeachable classic work in political
philosophy, intellectual and cultural history, and economics, The Road to
Serfdom has inspired and infuriated politicians, scholars, and general
readers for half a century. Originally published in 1944—when Eleanor Roosevelt
supported the efforts of Stalin, and Albert Einstein subscribed lock, stock, and
barrel to the socialist program—The Road to Serfdom was seen as heretical
for its passionate warning against the dangers of state control over the means
of production. For F. A. Hayek, the collectivist idea of empowering government
with increasing economic control would lead not to a utopia but to the horrors
of Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy.

The countdown has begun. Get ready for the most exciting 61 hours of your life.
#1 New York Times bestselling author Lee Child’s latest thriller is a
ticking time bomb of suspense that builds electric tension on every page.
Sixty-one hours. Not a minute to spare.
A tour bus crashes in a savage snowstorm and lands Jack Reacher in the middle of
a deadly confrontation. In nearby Bolton, South Dakota, one brave woman is
standing up for justice in a small town threatened by sinister forces. If she’s
going to live long enough to testify, she’ll need help. Because a killer is
coming to Bolton, a coldly proficient assassin who never misses.
Reacher’s original plan was to keep on moving. But the next 61 hours will change
everything. The secrets are deadlier and his enemies are stronger than he could
have guessed—but so is the woman whose life he’ll risk his own to save.
In his breakout bestseller, The Perfect Storm,
Sebastian Junger created "a wild ride that brilliantly captures the awesome
power of the raging sea and the often futile attempts of humans to withstand it"
(Los Angeles Times Book Review). Now, Junger turns his brilliant and
empathetic eye to the reality of combat--the fear, the honor, and the trust
among men in an extreme situation whose survival depends on their absolute
commitment to one another. His on-the-ground account follows a single platoon
through a 15-month tour of duty in the most dangerous outpost in Afghanistan's
Korengal Valley. Through the experiences of these young men at war, he shows
what it means to fight, to serve, and to face down mortal danger on a daily
basis.

Lisbeth Salander—the heart of Larsson’s two
previous novels—lies in critical condition, a bullet wound to her head, in the
intensive care unit of a Swedish city hospital. She’s fighting for her life in
more ways than one: if and when she recovers, she’ll be taken back to Stockholm
to stand trial for three murders. With the help of her friend, journalist Mikael
Blomkvist, she will not only have to prove her innocence, but also identify and
denounce those in authority who have allowed the vulnerable, like herself, to
suffer abuse and violence. And, on her own, she will plot revenge—against the
man who tried to kill her, and the corrupt government institutions that very
nearly destroyed her life.
