Over the Transom

While I was away in New Jersey earlier this week, several books came in for review. I’ll get to some of these in more detail on my blog, but to be fair to the authors and publishers, I thought I’d do a Glenn Reynolds-style “In the Mail” post with Amazon links here at the Tatler, for maximum exposure, to at least help get these titles into (further) circulation:

• Becoming Breitbart: The Impact of a New Media Revolutionary, by Chris K. Daley. (Kindle eBook Edition.)

• America-Lite: How Imperial Academia Dismantled Our Culture (and Ushered In the Obamacrats), by David Gelernter.

• Red and Blue and Broke All Over: Restoring America’s Free Economy, by Charles Goyette.

• Can’t Is Not an Option, by Nikki Haley.

• No Matter What…They’ll Call This Book Racist: How our Fear of Talking Honestly About Race Hurts Us All, by Harry Stein.

• Merchants of Despair: Radical Environmentalists, Criminal Pseudo-Scientists, and the Fatal Cult of Antihumanism, by Robert Zubrin.

• Saturday Night: A Backstage History of Saturday Night Live, by Doug Hill and Jeff Weingrad. (Kindle eBook Edition.)

That last book was originally written in 1985, and was recently republished for the Kindle. It’s likely the best book on the early days of SNL, and one of the best backstage “making of” show biz books ever written. Watch for a more detailed review at the PJ Lifestyle blog.
