This Week's Staff Picks

Valerie's choice:

Orphan Master's Son, by Andrew Johnson

Part breathless thriller, part love story, but ultimately a riveting portrait of a world heretofore hidden from view: a North Korea rife with hunger, corruption, and casual cruelty but also camaraderie, stolen moments of beauty, and love. You won't be able to put it down.

Diana’s choice:

Omnivore’s Dilemma, by Michael Pollan

Loved this book because the author makes so much sense about the way we actually eat and how we should eat. Everyone should read this book and seriously think about what you are putting in your mouth.
