46) Andre Leon Talley- ALT. His experiences growing up in Durham, NC. Not a wildly exciting book, but sweet.
47) David Weber- In Fury Born. An expanded reissue of his Path of the Fury. It was interesting to get some more background, but not really worthy of another book. It's really more novella material.
48) Don Lattin. Following our bliss : how the spiritual ideals of the sixties shape our lives today. A well-written look at what the 60's did in terms of religion in the US. He focuses mainly on alternate movements- the Moonies, Hare Krishnas, etc, with a briefer look at how Christianity has changed. Judaism is mentioned, but there's not much there. I'd recommend this one.
49)Kay Guthrie. Selling Alaska : the white-collar adventures of an advertising pioneer. The term "slight" was invented to cover this book. Oh, sir, what you could have said! And should have. How could you make ALASKA dull?
50) wongvipa devahastin na ayudhya- Modern Asian living. This was a colorful look at interior design in Asia. I want the Shanghai section transplanted to my room, please. Very 1930's opium den.
51) Charles Higham- Marlene. Great bio of Dietrich. Written while she was still alive, so some of the more scandalous stuff isn't mentioned. Still, the author does a great job of evoking 1920's-30's Berlin.
