Little, Brown, $28 edited by Robin Romm. Liveright, $19.50. If you’ve never picked up a David Sedaris book, Theft by Finding is the perfect place to start. The phenomenal essayist and humorist offers fans and newcomers a look into his most personal writings in this first of a two-volume release. This collection of diary entries whisks readers through the life and times of one of the world’s funniest and most perceptive writers. Sedaris isn’t for the faint of heart, so if heart-wrenching and tear-jerking stories about sex, death, drugs and frozen animals isn’t for you, beware that the author pulls no punches. Sedaris has the uncanny ability to find humor in everyday life unfolding around him. At times, it’s hard to believe that he isn’t making these stories up. It helps when you spend every evening in the local IHOP — be it in Raleigh or Chicago. Sedaris is a talented writer who has spent years perfecting his craft by recording the day-to-day happenings around him. If nothing else, Theft by Finding leaves readers with a sense of adventure that is as easy to find as opening their eyes. — Max Thornberry The wonderfully bold, strikingly vulnerable and immensely wise collection of essays in Double Bind work together to explore the challenges and realities of being a woman with ambition in the world today. Honest, insightful stories from college professors, artists, best-selling authors, stay-at-home moms, psychiatrists, actresses and everything in between fill the pages, each sharing a different, valuable meaning of the word ambition. The stories echo moments of honest failure and glorious success, challenging guilt and beautiful aspirations — each one containing a powerful look at being an ambitious woman. Robin Romm, Portland-based editor and the author of three books, writes: “It’s a way to ignite conversation, to inspire women of all ages and walks of life to consider the role of ambition in their lives, to embrace it with more confidence, to define it and own it and understand why it feels uncomfortable.” It’s a book made to inspire, and it does. — Morgan Theophil VOLVO & SUBARU OWNERS HAPPY HOLIDAYS Curry Bowl FROM SWEDISH ENGINEERING-VOLVO SUBARU If you drive a Volvo or Subaru...we’ve got A gift for you / A gift for them! $250 HOLIDAY SPENDING CASH FOR YOU AND Fine Indian Cuisine $250 Tuesday - Sunday TO THE CHARITY OF YOUR CHOICE Lunch Buffet 11am to 2:30pm Dinner 5pm to 9:30pm 2 CHANCES TO WIN, DRAWINGS HELD ON DECEMBER 8TH AND DECEMBER 22ND!
