From the page: "If you are a reader who finds Judy Blumeâ�,�s â�,�oeForeverâ�,� too scandalous or Maya Angelouâ�,�s â�,�oeI Know Why the Caged Bird Singsâ�,� too sexually explicit, then Chuck Palahniukâ�,�s â�,�oeSnuffâ�,� is probably not for you. Actually, you probably shouldnâ�,�t read this review either.
Really.
Stop."

From the page: "Christmas, at least for me, has become a time of stress and panic. I think a lot of folks probably would share that sentiment. But according to Mike Huckabee (the former governor of Arkansas and former presidential candidate, who was a pastor before getting into politics), that was never God's intention. Going back to the birth of Jesus, the whole concept of Christmas is supposed to be about simple things: faith, love, family and hope. The hard part, in today's crazy world, is remembering that those simple things are the most precious of all."

From the page: "Christmas is a time for traditions, and every family has their own particular, if not peculiar, way of preparing for and celebrating the holidays.
In 2006, Washington Post reporter Hank Stuever journeyed to Frisco, Texas, a booming suburb of Dallas, to follow three families as they prepared for Christmas. Stuever would spend the next three holiday seasons with these folks, observing and participating in their celebrations, the results of which he reports in his new book, �oeTinsel: A Search For America�s Christmas Present.” "

From the page: "To say rock 'n' roll is a wild lifestyle is probably the understatement of all time. It is survival of the fittest and it has been the downfall of a great many people who thought they were strong.
Looking at petite and delicately beautiful Mary Forsberg Weiland, one never would imagine that she would be able to come through the fire that is rock 'n' roll and live to tell about it, but she did survive. In her book, �oeFall to Pieces: A Memoir of Drugs, Rock 'n' Roll and Mental Illness,” she gives testimony to a dangerous life in the fast lane and how she found an exit ramp just in time to save herself and her family from destruction.
