Need a little laugh therapy? Lewis wrote The Big Short, Moneyball, and now the highly praised, The Fifth Risk. I did not know he had written about his journey into being a father. If this topic applies to or interests you in the least, there are laugh out loud moments awaiting you.

New York Times reporter David Carr was a giant in his field, covering media and culture, and starring in the award-winning documentary Page One: Inside the New York Times. This book, his investigation into his own past, is grim and gripping and champions the merit and potential of individuals veiled by the label and struggle of addiction.

A painting links a rare female artist of the Dutch Golden Age with a scion and grad student in "Mad Men" era Manhattan. Developed, simpatico characters and finely wrought double-crossing in past and present Netherlands, Manhattan, and Sydney make this a very satisfying read. Great for summer, travel, or book groups.

Tom is rushed to Lord Funt hospital in London from his miserable boarding school with a nasty bump on his head. It's all too awful at first, but he wont want to leave after joining the other kids on his ward in the midnight gang. Creative escapades await with happy endings all around.

My children are not so little any more, but we all still love this nostalgia filled seek and find.
