New Books for Beating Break Boredom!

We know. You just finished all that cramming for finals and the rush of turning those textbooks back into the bookstore hasn't even worn off yet. The last thing you want is more obligations.

But hey, wait a minute! Even if that camping trip to the coast pans out, it's looking pretty wet outside. You might just want to check out a few of the UCC Library's New Books--

See the full list here, or scroll down for some staff recommendations!

Katie's Picks:
How to talk about books you haven't read
NEW 027 B Bayard, Pierre.
Because we've all had that awkward moment at the table with family where we realize our conversation choices are down to books or politics, and the latter is a really bad idea.


In defense of food : an eater's manifesto
NEW 641.3 P Pollan, Michael.
Pollan's simple guide to eating well is just as interesting as the meals described in his earlier title, The Omnivore's Dilemma. One of the modified rules ("Don't eat anything your grandmother wouldn't recognize as food.") makes me wonder-- Starbucks' coffee drinks: yes or no?!


These are just a few of the great new items at the Library this week, and all books and CDs check out for three weeks, so come grab something to keep the boredom away this Spring Break!
