1.Dog Man: An Uncommon Life on a Faraway MountainDog Man: An Uncommon Life on a Faraway Mountain
from Tantor Media
Price: $13.59

Customer Review:
I have read the other reviews written by Amazon readers and am so impressed with them. For my part, I agree with the others, and then some. I found that Morie and Kitako are elegant and honorable, much as their dogs were. As with any book one reads and thoroughly enjoys, I dreaded that the words... more info

2.What I Talk about When I Talk about RunningWhat I Talk about When I Talk about Running
from Blackstone Audiobooks, Inc.
Price: $15.56

Customer Review:
Obviously a memoir by a novelist about running will be of most interest to those whose personal Venn diagrams overlap one of those two circles, but I think even to those who don't fit those categories (or who have only read HM's fiction) said book would prove worthwhile. As someone who is coming to... more info

4.Flyboys: A True Story of CourageFlyboys: A True Story of Courage
from Back Bay Books
Price: $10.17

Customer Review:
This book is ostensibly a recounting of the grisly fates of several airmen who went down over Chichi Jima and fell into Japanese captivity, a story that was heretofore unknown. True, this story is covered, and covered well. However, I suspect that the author, on reflection, realized that A) the... more info

5.Murakami Diary 2009Murakami Diary 2009
from Random House UK
Price: $11.53

Customer Review:
I pre-ordered this thinking it was some sort of diary written by Murakami but when it arrived I found it was just a silly Murakami-themed diary. I am a big fan of Murakami, and it is a bit sad to see this type of misleading marketing associated to his work.

6.Stubborn Twig: Three Generations in the Life of a Japanese American Family (Oregon Reads)Stubborn Twig: Three Generations in the Life of a Japanese American Family (Oregon Reads)
from Oregon State University
Price: $12.89

Customer Review:
This was my book club book this month. Good thing. Otherwise I might not have 1) chosen it...I don't tend to pick up history nonfiction books for my reading, and 2) gotten through the dense first few chapters. I'm so glad I kept reading. Kessler does an amazing job of pulling together an incredible... more info

7.Evidence Not Seen: A Woman s Miraculous Faith in the Jungles of World War IIEvidence Not Seen: A Woman's Miraculous Faith in the Jungles of World War II
from HarperOne
Price: $11.86

Customer Review:
This is a true story of a missionary just before WWII. Her experiences as a prisoner of the Japanese will not depress you as much as uplift you and show you how God can work in us when we let Him. Highly recommended!

Customer Review:
There have been several struggles in civil rights in the USA. Women suffrage, African American civil rights, and finally the Gay, Lesbian, Transgender, and Bisexual cause.

9.Gladys Aylward: The Little WomanGladys Aylward: The Little Woman
from Moody Publishers
Price: $6.99

Customer Review:
The movie made from this woman's life, The Inn of the 5th Happiness, was great. This book is even better. There are more miracles told of, and of course it is free of any Hollywood add-ons. This is the story of a parlor maid who feels a call, of all things, to go to China. She meets only... more info

10.Desert Exile: The Uprooting of a Japanese-American FamilyDesert Exile: The Uprooting of a Japanese-American Family
from University of Washington Press
Price: $10.17

Customer Review:
I was very interested in finding a book that wasn't just dry history. I wasn't born in this time period of World War II, so I was really eager to find a book relating to this topic. Possibly learning about someone who lived through this time period, something a little like Ann Frank's Diary.
