Seabiscuit by Laura Hillebrand | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Seabiscuit was one of the most electrifying and popular attractions in sports history and the single biggest newsmaker in the world in 1938, receiving more coverage than FDR, Hitler, or Mussolini. Author Laura Hillenbrand brilliantly re-creates a universal underdog story, one that proves that life is a horse race. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| The Impressionist | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
The Impressionist, the first novel by Hari Kunzru, tells the tale of adventurous Pran Nath, a half-Indian, half-English boy and his travels. The descriptions of the different landscapes, as well as the lives of the English nobles, Indian royals, and the poor natives are colorful and thoroughly detailed. There are flaws but it is an impressive debut. |
