Days" by James and Kay Salter

From the author of "Light Years" and his 30-year cooking companion comes this quirky cornucopia of recipes, historical tidbits and personal memories all wrapped up into one charming 'bedside book' for those for whom eating is something more than a mere necessity. The Trojan War and Oscar Wilde; cigars and cranberries; Alice Waters and Julia Childs all feast together at the Salters' memorable table.

"Light of the Evening"

by Edna O'Brien Edna O'Brien's 18th work of fiction is, at heart, the story of the fraught relationship between Dilly, an elderly Irish woman in a hospital in Dublin, and her daughter, Eleanora, a famous novelist living in London, whom she hopes will visit her. It's a moving, if painful, look at love and family. As always, O'Brien deals with the interplay and the tensions of character and culture.

"Monster House" (PG)

When objects (footballs, baseballs, people) seem to be disappearing in their neighborhood, two 12 year-old boys suspect that something is wrong with a nearby rotting mansion, owned by old man Nebbercracker (voice by Steve Buscemi). When Nebbercracker is whisked away to the hospital, the two boys and a newfound friend decide to go investigate this so-called "haunted mansion." This animated film by Sony might be a little too scary for little ones.

"Road to Guantanamo" (R)

When a group of British-Pakistanis travel to the Middle East for a wedding, they decide to go to Afghanistan and see the war-torn country firsthand. After one of the men is killed, the remaining three are captured and turned over to the American forces. The so-called "Tipton three" are taken to Guantamo Bay, where they are tortured and held for three years. Even though this film is not a documentary, the harsh reality of what was done to these men is obvious as one follows the road to Guantanamo. Based on a true story.
