Commander In Cheat: How Golf Explains Trump
This book, claims author Rick Reilly, is not political -- it is about sports and his love of golf, a game of honor. When he read the ludicrous claim that Donald Trump had won 18 club championships, it inspired this book. The president is an excellent golfer and an engaging partner (as Reilly knows first-hand), yet is widely known for cheating and wild claims because "everyone does it" and "it sounds better." Much of Trump's life -- his upbringing, his business dealings, his penchant for lawsuits, and his inability to lose or let go of a grudge -- is examined, using golf as a lens.

Thirst, a collection of forty-three new poems from the Pulitzer Prize-winner Mary Oliver, introduces two new directions in the poet's work. Grappling with grief at the death of the love of her life and partner of over forty years, the remarkable photographer Molly Malone Cook, she strives to experience sorrow as a path to spiritual progress, grief as part of loving and not its end.

Sci-Fu
Wax drops the sickest beats in Brooklyn but can't get the attention of the girl he likes, Pirate Patty. Then one day while he is djing, his entire block is sucked through a portal to Discopia. There he battles the King and sets off a series of encounters with Prince Choo Choo. This is a combination of rap, science fiction and kung fu as Wax becomes a SciFu master. It wasn't really my favorite. It was too long and a bit convoluted. But then I am probably not the right demographic for this either.
