This book of mysteries is great for when you have limited time. You can pick it up and read 1 or 2 stories then leave it. I've read it for 5-10 minutes at a time. The stories can be funny or slightly scary. Some are not terribly current since they were written before 1981. Still, it can be interesting to see how people interacted in the 70's!

This is a hilarious book! Never saw the TV show,and wish now that I had. Book tells of the making of the shows and describes what segments weren't aired because of controversial nature/advertisers backed out.

This is a great, very readable,book about the history of yellow fever in this country and how it shaped this country in so many ways. As you might expect,slavery played a major role in bringing yellow fever to America,but it was surprising that historians have placed the blame on yellow fever for bringing down the city of Memphis which had, in the 1870's, been one of the largest cities of the South at the time.

This was very thought-provoking and very interesting to learn about the role of the Red Cross and the AIDS epidemic. Author lays blame on Elizabeth Dole in part for this.

This audiobook is exactly how I thought it would be: funny, heart-breaking and inspiring! Michelle Obama was a great First Lady and she tells her story of the Obama family's 8 yrs in the White House candidly and with feeling. The unabridged audiobook has 16 CDs but as you approach the ending, you will be left wanting to continue to listen as she recounts the ups and downs in her life and in our country's life.
