The classic underground novel about a Jewish kid from Tennessee, who moves to D.C. and hangs out with militant vegetarians, manifesto-writing shoplifters, and strippers who write feminist theory. The story is told through journals, letters and zines. It's got everything you could want out of a novel: a chase scene, a sex scene, plus angst-ridden critiques of American society.

From getting lost in the Gobi Desert to stirring fights in a Mongolian disco, Board teeters through the heart of contemporary Mongolian culture with the class, humor and buffoonery of a modern-day Charlie Chaplin.

Miracles, viruses, plane crashes and acts of terror perpetrated by a group of Others: This is the perplexing and radical world of the television show Lost. With wit and insight, J. Wood explores the show's strange engagement with the psychodynamics of the war on terror/ism we all experience through the media and mediated government -- war, (mis)information, terrorism -- and re-works those psychodynamics through its narrative. And that argument underlies a broader discussion of the mysteries and secrets and strange narrative forms the show has taken on. There's also an appendix that goes over the major characters up through the six-episode miniseries and discusses how the themes of the narrative are refracted through the characterizations.

In 1938, under the direction of novelist and historian Lyle Saxon, The Federal Writers' Project of the Works Progress Administration produced this delightfully detailed portrait of New Orleans. Containing recipes, photographs and folklore, it is consistently hailed as one of the best books produced about the city. Remarkably, many of the sites and attractions the WPA chronicled in 1938 are still around today.

The Christian Conservative Coloring Book, an update of the Pat Robertson Coloring Book, invites readers to therapeutically take a crayon to their favorite conservative wingnuts, including: Sarah Palin, Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh. As the conservatives here hold nothing back in their outrageous provocations in service to selling their latest book or energy drink, Kevin Stone similarly holds nothing back in his portrayal of a movement running on self-righteous cynicism.

A brief illustrated history of the U.S. presidency told by the presidents themselves in the style favored by modern social networking web sites, Forty Four Presidents imagines 220 years of presidential succession pancaked into a single moment ― documented simultaneously by each commander-in-chief in status updates designed for easy consumption by their Facebook friends. Each status update is accompanied by a jaunty, high-contrast profile picture intended to reflect something of the essential personality (and hotness) of the president.
