Hardback. Zustand: Good. Journalist Robert Sullivan can't remember a day when he was not a Red Sox fan. It seems he was born a devotee; he certainly was raised to be one. From Ted to Yaz, the to-the-death pledge of fidelity to the celebrated team was a rite of passage for anyone growing up in semi rural Massachusetts in the 1950s and '60s. Our Red Sox chronicles the love affair of a man, a family, and a community for "their" team. It's about playoffs recently past and seasons long ago, about 1918 and 2004 and everything in between. It's about families and sandlots and bleacher seats and press row, about tragedies remembered and frighteningly real -- all happening in an orbit around the park called Fenway -- as well as the luminous moments of camaraderie and triumph. Our Red Sox is a witty, gentle, moving memoir from deep inside a wonderful place called Red Sox Nation.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Body image and fitness are hot topics for both men and women. The Great Fitness Experiment is not a how-to guide but rather a fitness memoir in which Charlotte Hilton Andersen sifts through the morass of contradictory claims and information in today's health- and fitness-obsessed world. Andersen tries a new workout each month for a year in an attempt to discover what works, what doesn't, and what's just plain weird. She delves into such subjects as the Action Hero Workout, Cross Fit Training, Going Vegan, Double Cardio, and others. Interspersed between the chapters on the monthly experiments, Andersen offers personal essays on everything from her past experiences with eating disorders to testing the ugliest fitness shoes on the planet to lesson about, as she puts it what I've learned from being a girl in our body-obsessed culture. She writes candidly about her history of anorexia, orthorexia, and general-low-self-esteem-exia, including anecdotes about the effects of the health craze on her students, friends, and gym buddies.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Female sideline reporters are the fastest-growing trend in broadcasts of professional and college football: names like Suzy Kolber, Erin Andrews, and Andrea Kremer are now as well known as any of the men in the booth.
