Snobs: The Classic Guidebook to Your Friends, Your Enemies, Your Colleagues, and Yourself
by Russell LynesIn this classic work by the renowned wit and pundit whom the New York Times has lauded as "one of America's foremost arbiters of taste and mores . . . an acclaimed expert on what was highbrow, what was lowbrow, and what was no brow at all," the inimitable Russell Lynes flaunts (rather snobbishly, perhaps) his unparalleled expertise on all things snobbish. Since the Social Snob—with his raised nostrils and air of intolerable intolerance—has long since gone underground, it falls to a true connoisseur to identify the myriad faces of snobbery. Whether it be the Regional, Political, or Moral Snob, the Sensual or Sex Snob, or that most virulent of genus, the Reverse or Anti-Snob Snob, Lynes shines an illuminating light that will enable us to more easily recognize the pervasive pretentiousness surrounding us . . . and perhaps within us as well.

Snow Angels
by Stewart O'Nan“Snow Angels follows the disintegration of two households in a small western Pennsylvania town in the dead of winter. One is Arthur Parkinson's. Arthur, small yet wise for his 15 years, is coping with his parents' divorce and the loss of their home. While he picks his way through the emotional land mine his parents have created, Arthur falls in love, learns to drive, and, strangely enough, gets drawn into the wreck of his former baby-sitter's life. As a child, Arthur adored Annie for her long red hair and joshing indulgences. Now he can't believe the sickening irony of having to be the one person out of dozens of searchers who finds the body of her drowned three-year-old daughter. Arthur's narrative alternates with the sad tale of Annie's busted marriage, the mental breakdown of her estranged husband, and her inevitable murder. O'Nan tells this sorrowful tale without a shred of sensationalism, ushering us quietly into the squeezed hearts of his characters, respectful of their traumas and awed by how limited our choices in life truly are.”
