Doctor Sleep
Stephen King
“He-e-e-e-r-e's Danny! . . . Dan Torrance, the alcoholic son of the very dangerously alcoholic father who came to no good in King's famed 1977 novel The Shining, finds his rock bottom very near. . . the scarifying image of an infant reaching for a baggie of blow. . . That ‘shining’ is a matter of more than passing interest for a gang of RV-driving, torture-loving, soul-sucking folks who aren't quite folks at all—the True Knot. . . When the knotty crew sets its sights on a young girl whose own powers include the ability to sense impending bad vibes, Dan, long adrift, begins to find new meaning in the world.” –Kirkus Reviews

The Lowland
Jhumpa Lahiri
Taking place in India and America, The Lowland follows two brothers from 1960s Calcutta. Born just fifteen months apart, Subhash and Udayan Mitra are inseparable – one often mistaken for the other – yet they choose intensely different lives. Charismatic Udayan enters the Naxalite movement against poverty and inequality, while Subhash eschews politics for traditional duties, immigrating to a coastal corner of the States for scientific research. A horrible event draws him homewards to a family shattered, including Udayan’s grieving wife. Jhumpa Lahiri’s beautiful, historically authentic novel has been shortlisted for the 2013 Man Booker Prize.

Levels of Life
Julian Barnes
“Barnes, who won the Man Booker Prize for his most recent novel, The Sense of an Ending (2011), is a stealthy essayist. His tone is urbane and wry, his style pared and sure, but his emotions are stormy. . . Death is Barnes' theme. Though one wouldn't think so at the outset as he describes three nineteenth-century balloon flights in England and France enjoyed by three intriguing, eventually interconnected balloonatics. . . The profound metaphorical resonance of Barnes' fascination with ballooning emerges as he addresses the sudden death of his wife of 30 years and his painful plunge into mourning. This bright wand of a book is testimony to Barnes' commanding artistry, delving intelligence, and high imagination.” –Booklist

The Round House
Louise Erdrich
Set in 1988 in an Ojibwe community in North Dakota, Erdrich “. . . probes the moral and legal ramifications of a terrible act of violence. When tribal enrollment expert Geraldine Coutts is viciously attacked, her ordeal is made even more devastating by the legal ambiguities surrounding the location and perpetrator of the assault: did the attack occur on tribal, federal, or state land? Is the aggressor white or Indian? As Geraldine becomes enveloped by depression, her husband, Bazil (the tribal judge), and their 13-year-old son, Joe, try desperately to identify her assailant and bring him to justice. The teen quickly grows frustrated with the slow pace of the law, so Joe and three friends take matters into their own hands.” –Publishers Weekly Starred Review

Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore
Robin Sloan
“When Clay Jannon, a jobless website designer, applies to work the night shift at Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore, he must promise not to open any of the volumes shelved in the dimly lit, way-back stacks that stretch to the ceiling. These titles are only for members of a book club, who arrive periodically in the wee, small hours to trade one obscure manuscript for another. But it doesn't take long before boredom—and curiosity—gets the better of Clay. Between occasional customers, he designs a 3-D virtual replica of the store on his laptop and discovers a pattern to the borrowing and more questions than answers when he finally cracks one of the dusty tomes.” —Booklist

A Thousand Mornings: Poems
Mary Oliver
“Beginning with her first poetry book in 1963, Oliver has chronicled her enthrallment to the living world, especially the land and sea surrounding Provincetown, Massachusetts, and her spiritual evolution. In her newest collection, her compact poems are conversational and teasing, yet their taproots reach deeply into the aquifers of religion, philosophy, and literature. . . Oliver is funny and renegade as she protests cultural vapidity, greed, violence, and environmental decimation and ravishing in her close readings of nature, such as the resplendent Tides, which surges like the sea.” –Booklist

The Woman Who Died a Lot: A Thursday Next Novel
Jasper Fforde
When her former SpecOps division is reinstated, Thursday assumes she's the obvious choice to lead the Literary Detectives. Instead, she's put in charge of the Swindon All-You-Can-Eat-at-Fatso's Drink Not Included Library. But where Thursday goes, trouble follows. As the new Chief Librarian faces one-hundred-percent budget cuts and the ever-evil Jack Schitt, the Next children face their own career hiccups—and possible nonexistence.
"Fforde continues to show that his forte is absurdist humor in his seventh crime thriller starring Thursday Next, a member of the Literary Detectives division of Special Operations in an alternate-universe Britain. [An] endearingly-bizarre fantasy world limited only by Fforde's impressive imagination." – Publishers Weekly

A History of the World in 100 Objects
Neil MacGregor
The book’s title is the original title of an exhibit in London’s British Museum, of which Neil MacGregor is the director. The exhibit’s accompanying radio series, about objects made, used, venerated, or discarded by man, was a smash hit for BBC radio and broke major broadcasting records. This companion volume was a huge Christmas hit on both sides of the Atlantic, and a New York Times bestseller. From a chopping tool from Africa's Olduvai Gorge to the credit card, A History of the World in 100 Objects is an engrossing and profoundly original work of history.

The Patriarch: The Remarkable Life and Turbulent Times of Joseph P. Kennedy
David Nasaw
“Sprawling, highly readable biography of the dynast and larger-than-life figure whose presence still haunts American political life. Working from his subject's extensive archives, Nasaw pieces together a sometimes-sympathetic, sometimes-critical view of Joseph P. Kennedy (1888-1969), father of John F. Kennedy and most definitely a man of parts. . . Accused, as Nasaw notes, of various crimes and moral failings, ranging from bootlegging to anti-Semitism, Kennedy nevertheless instilled in his family a sense of dedication to service and of the necessity of hard work. . . [Nothing] came easy to any of the Kennedys, that tragic clan, who continue to fascinate. Exhaustive yet accessible, Nasaw's book illuminates.” –Kirkus Reviews Starred Review

Why Read Moby-Dick?
Nathaniel Philbrick
Moby-Dick is perhaps the greatest of the Great American Novels, yet its length and esoteric subject matter create an aura of difficulty that too often keeps readers at bay. Philbrick offers a cabin master's tour of a spellbinding novel rich with adventure and history. He skillfully navigates Melville's world and illuminates the book's humor and unforgettable characters—finding the thread that binds Ishmael and Ahab to today's time and, indeed, to all times. A perfect match between author and subject, Why Read Moby-Dick? gives readers a renewed appreciation of both Melville and the proud seaman's town of Nantucket that Philbrick himself calls home.

From Norvelt to Nowhere
Jack Gantos
Ages 10 to 14
This sequel to the Newbery Medal-winning novel Dead End in Norvelt opens deep in the shadow of the Cuban missile crisis, but instead of Russian warheads, other kinds of trouble are raining down on young Jack Gantos and his utopian town of Norvelt. After an explosion, a new crime by an old murderer, and the sad passing of the town's founder, twelve-year-old Jack will soon find himself launched on a mission that takes him hundreds of miles away, escorting his slightly mental elderly mentor, Miss Volker, on her relentless pursuit of the oddest of outlaws. As their trip turns south in more ways than one, it's increasingly clear that the farther from home they travel, the more off-the-wall Jack and Miss Volker's adventure becomes.

Ian Doescher
William Shakespeare's Star Wars
Co-Sponsored by Friends of the Corvallis-Benton County Public Library and Grass Roots Books & Music
Worlds collide in Ian Doescher’s William Shakespeare's Star Wars. The author joins us this afternoon to read from and discuss his Shakespearean rendition of Star Wars, followed by a book signing.
Return once more to a galaxy far, far away with this sublime retelling of George Lucas's epic Star Wars in the style of the immortal Bard of Avon. The saga of a wise (Jedi) knight and an evil (Sith) lord, of a beautiful princess held captive and a young hero coming of age, Star Wars abounds with all the valor and villainy of Shakespeare's greatest plays. 'Tis a tale told by fretful droids, full of faithful Wookiees and fearsome Stormtroopers, signifying. . . pretty much everything. |

Paul Bogard
The End of Night, Searching for Natural Darkness in an Age of Artificial Light
The Spring Creek Project for Ideas, Nature, and the Written Word welcomes Paul Bogard back to Corvallis.
A starry night is one of nature's most magical wonders. Yet in our artificially lit world, three-quarters of Americans' eyes never switch to night vision and most of us no longer experience true darkness. In The End of Night, Paul Bogard restores our awareness of the spectacularly primal, wildly dark night sky and how it has influenced the human experience across everything from science to art.

Au revoir, Pamela!
Please join us to wish Pamela Johnson (née Moeller) a fond farewell Tuesday, Oct. 1, from 12 p.m. until 3 p.m.
Pamela, already a seasoned bookseller for many years before she started working at Grass Roots, joined us in 2010. Pamela did a beautiful job as our events coordinator organizing and hosting many authors at the bookstore and offsite events. She has also served as our newsletter editor, compiling amazing amounts of information and somehow, always getting that newsletter published by 6 p.m. on Thursdays. In fact, she did such a beautiful job that it’s going to take several of us to fill her shoes. We’ll miss her indeed! We will all also miss her wit, and her fabulous pies and other baked goods! Pamela is looking forward to some time to focus on her own writing and exploring other opportunities. Please stop by and help give her a send-off, and as Pamela always signed off in the newsletter: "See you in the bookstore!" Refreshments will be served.
(Editor’s Note: Is it awkward to be editing the announcement of my own departure. . . ? Remember me with a perusal of my recommendations from the last 3-1/2 years. Yes, there are a lot of cookbooks.) |
A familiar place for Pamela: contemplating the newsletter. |

The Art of Hearing Heartbeats
Jan-Philipp Sendker
Kendall leads her first Reading Group discussion with The Art of Hearing Heartbeats by Jan-Philipp Sendker. A poignant and inspirational love story set in Burma, The Art of Hearing Heartbeats spans the decades between the 1950s and the present, as a young woman from New York journeys to a small village in search of her missing father.
“Sendker's debut is a lush tale of romance and family set in mid-twentieth-century Burma. Four years after her father mysteriously disappeared, Julia Win traces him to the small town of Kalaw after finding a love letter among his possessions addressed to a woman named Mi Mi. In Kalaw, an old man named U Ba approaches her, promising to tell her the story of her father's life before he came to New York and met her mother. . . A beautiful tale bound to enchant readers on this side of the Atlantic.” –Booklist |

Personal History
Katherine Graham
Having grown up with the Washington Post on my grandparent's coffee table, I was curious and fascinated by the recent newspaper's sale, out of the Post family, to Jeff Bezos. So I was prompted, finally, to pick up this epic book which I had long wanted to read. Katherine Graham writes with clarity, insight, and depth of her family's newspaper, the history, how her father bought it, and its run during her time as owner and president. I found this first-hand telling of events and political happenings of the times (Eisenhower, Kennedy, Pentagon Papers, Watergate) absolutely intriguing and informative. This voluminous memoir won the Pulitzer Prize.

I Could Chew on This: And Other Poems by Dogs
Francesco Marciuliano
As a life-time dog lover and owner of two very special, life changing & lovable pups, I Could Chew On This has captured dogs’ dynamic personalities, behaviors and talents that make me happy to call mine my "furry-children". The poems are honest, funn, and a true reflection of what I often imagine would be the perspective of my pooches. Anyone with a soft spot for man’s best friend is sure to laugh and relate to this collection of sincere scenarios. Marciuliano does not discriminate either; his I Could Pee On This: And Other Poems by Cats is for all the cat lovers out there! I’m sure it is equally hilarious and thought provoking.

Life Among Giants
Bill Roorbach
Not even 100 pages in and it's already a crazy ride. With a main character that is nearly seven feet tall, the story meets its strange quota right off the bat. But the real stars of the show are the exotic cast of characters around him, from the famous ballerina and her rocker husband to his family, each with a bizarre outlook and downright ludicrous behavior. This story is nothing if not entertaining, and with the stamp of approval from NPR, I can't wait to see it through to the end.

From Here to Now to You
Jack Johnson
For three years I have been the mistress of my very own Jack Johnson Dance Party every Friday night at Grass Roots. It’s pretty quiet in the bookstore right before close, and I like to wind down my week with the beachy sound of Jack Johnson. Just in time for my last hurrah, he came out with a new album and I AM IN LOVE. He brings a little more pop to the beach here, and if you come in at the right time, you will actually catch me breaking out my goofy dance moves. Beautiful lyrics, positive music, and lightness in my soul.
