            <link>http://www.bookbuffet.com/index.cfm/fuseaction/news.article/type/home/article_ID/3E718352-62D7-45E9-81CB85C764B095DA/index.cfm</link>
            <description><![CDATA[Jackfish The Vanishing Village (Inanna Poetry & Fiction) is not any kind of fishing story—but it will hook you in. Clemance-Marie Nadeau is haunted by memories unravelling from a traumatic past. Her story begins as she boards a train bound for Sault Ste. Marie, and falls under the spell of a charming stranger who promises her a life of adventure. Nothing she experiences could be further from that promise. Based on her own experiences and the stories of the many women Sarah Felix Burns has worked with over the years in her work with trauma/torture survivors.  Jackfish will have you mesmerized and running the gamut of emotions. Not since, "Bastard Out of Carolina" have you been so moved by a book of this kind. Don&#039;t let your group miss this. The author writes, “This book is dedicated to all those people who battle with the demons of guilt, shame addiction, and mental illness.” Take a look at BookBuffet Reviewer, Dee Raffo&#039;s review.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA["In Farewell, My Subaru: An Epic Adventure in Local Living, Doug Fine writes about his hilarious adventures in green living and some surprising facts he discovered about energy consumption; such as, it takes several thousand gallons of jet fuel to fly an organic banana from Honduras to Silver City, NM, or three times the amount of fuel he uses in his car each year. After graduating from Stanford, Doug Fine strapped on a backpack and traveled to five continents, reporting from remote perches in Burma, Rwanda, Laos, Guatemala and Tajikistan. He is a correspondent for NPR and PRI and the author of Not Really An Alaskan Mountain Man. His work has appeared in the Washington Post, Wired, US News and World Report, Christian Science Monitor, and Outside magazine. A native of Long Island, he lives in an obscure valley in Southern New Mexico alongside many goats and coyotes. Visit his web site at www.dougfine.com]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[It’s the variety that makes Joe Hill’s collection of 20th Century Ghosts, (William Morrow, 2007) stand out from the crowd of horror novelists. The stories range from the grotesque, to unnerving, even poignant and nostalgic.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ A poet from the age of fifteen, Xiaolu Guo first came to London in 2002 as an experienced novelist and filmmaker from mainland China. Her observations led to her third book, the first in English, a remarkable mix of eastern and western ideals with a clever, funny, often profound and engaging writing style. Titled A Concise Chinese-English Dictionary for Lovers: A Novel (Published by Nan A. Talese, September 4, 2007), The novel explores a subject that many people can relate to, the acquisition of a new language. This book was nominated for the 2007 Orange Prize for fiction. Read the review then listen to the interview, and view clips from her filmography. Xiaolu Guo is a talent we will see and hear more.]]></description>

            <title>Book Review: American Prometheus:  The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer by Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin</title>
            <link>http://www.bookbuffet.com/index.cfm/fuseaction/news.article/type/home/article_ID/FAAC3AFD-E115-4CA1-B3533FDEBA5D2A50/index.cfm</link>

"Prometheus stole fire and gave it to men."
-Apollodorus, The Library, book 1:7, second century B.C.

"My two great loves are physics and New Mexico.  It is a pity that they can&#039;t be combined."  So wrote J. Robert Oppenheimer, the enigmatic and mystic genius who managed to do just that at Los Alamos following his appointment as Scientific Director of the Manhattan Project.

The father of the atomic bomb was a unique polymath who can justifiably be credited with founding the foremost school of theoretical physics in America.  Moreover, in contrast to many gifted mathematicians and physicists, Oppenheimer&#039;s intellectual curiosity extended well beyond the limits of his chosen career.  He was a prolific reader and loved the arts, especially poetry.  He was also fascinated by mysticism and with his remarkable facility to acquire languages with astounding ease, he learned Sanskrit so that he could study the ancient Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita.]]></description>
