An Irish Country Doctor
Patrick
Taylor
Our Price: $14.95
 Barry
Laverty, a brand new M.D., can barely find the Northern
Ireland village of Ballybucklebo on a map when he first sets
out to seek gainful employment there. He jumps at the chance
to secure a position as an assistant in a small rural
practice. At least until he meets Dr. Fingal Flahertie
O’Reilly. The older physician, whose motto is to never let the
patients get the upper hand, has his own way of doing things.
At first, Barry can’t decide if the pugnacious O’Reilly is the
biggest charlatan he has ever met, or the best teacher he
could ever hope for. Through O’Reilly Barry soon gets to know
all of the village’s colorful and endearing residents.

So Many
Books, So Little Time, A Year of Passionate
Reading
Sara Nelson |
Hardcover
$13.00
 In
early 2002 Sara Nelson – editor, reporter, reviewer, mother,
daughter, wife, and compulsive reader – set out to chronicle a
year’s worth of reading. Her goal was to read a book a week
and “to get down on paper what I’ve been doing for years in my
mind: matching up the reading experience with the personal one
and watching where they intersect-or don’t.” It is a personal
memoir filled with wit, charm, insight, infectious enthusiasm
and observations on everything from Public Books (the ones we
pretend we’re reading), lending trauma and the idiosyncrasies
of sex scenes, to revenge books, hype, the stresses of
recommendation, the odd reasons we pick up a book in the first
place.
