Dave Barry: 9/6, 7:30pm @ CORAL GABLES
CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH
A brilliantly funny exploration of the Sunshine State from
the man who knows it best: Pulitzer Prize winner and
New York Times–bestselling author Dave Barry.
Best. State. Ever (G.P. Putnam’s Sons, $27) celebrates
Florida from Key West at the bottom to whatever it is
that’s at the top, from the Sunshine State’s earliest
history to the fun-fair of weirdness that it is today.
Brad Meltzer: 9/10, 7pm @ GABLES
We can all be heroes. That’s the inspiring message of
this New York Times bestselling picture book biography
series from historian and author Brad Meltzer. Learn all
about I Am Jane Goodall, the chimpanzee scientist and
I Am George Washington, America’s first president.
Jonathan Safran Foer: 9/14, 7:30pm @
TEMPLE JUDEA
Showcasing the same high-energy inventiveness,
hilarious irreverence, and emotional urgency that
readers loved in his earlier work, Here I Am (Farrar,
Strauss & Giroux, $28) is Foer’s most searching, hardhitting, and grandly entertaining novel yet. It not only
confirms Foer’s stature as a dazzling literary talent but
reveals a novelist who has fully come into his own as
one of our most important writers.
Carl Hiaasen: 9/28, 7:30pm @ CORAL GABLES
CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH
The new full-tilt, unstoppably hilarious and entertaining
novel from the best-selling author of Skinny Dip and
Bad Monkey - Razor Girl (Knopf, $27.95) is only the
beginning of events that spiral crazily out of control
while unleashing some of the wildest characters Hiaasen
has ever set loose on the page.
Danielle Flood:9/19, 8pm @ GABLES
A journalist born of the wartime love triangle that
inspired the one in Graham Greene's The Quiet
American, searches for her father after surviving a
bizarre youth of privilege, estrangement and cruelty.
The Unquiet Daughter (Piscataqua Press, $19.95)
is the true story of an exceptional woman. It takes
the reader on an amazing journey. Exotic, mysterious,
exciting, and romantic.

Lynne Cox: 9/20, 8pm @ GABLES
From inspired and inspiring open-water swimmer and
supreme athlete, able to endure cold water temperatures that would kill others, author of Swimming to
Antarctica (Knopf, $25) comes a powerful book about
super athleticism and human frailty, about invincibility
and the sudden (mind-altering) repercussions of illness,
and about the triumph of spirit, surrender, and love.

5pm @ GABLES
Muchos creemos que los operadores de
bolsa son grandes economistas y eruditos
de las finanzas, pero esto no es del todo
cierto. El mundo de la bolsa está rodeado
de personas de a pie como nosotros.
Encontraremos amas de casa, hosteleros,
funcionarios, estudiantes, y todos en
busca de un tesoro que la gran mayoría
desea: la independencia financiera.
Trading y bolsa (Pirámide, $22.99) está
dirigido a todos los públicos, no requiere
conocimientos previos para su entendimiento, pero también puede ser muy
útil para aquellas personas inmersas en
el trading que buscan un método para
reforzar conocimientos.
Dr. Juan Rivera: 9/8,
6pm @ GABLES
La primera parte de Mejora tu
salud de poquito a poco ($15.95)
explica las cuatro enfermedades
que amenazan la salud de los
hispanos: la obesidad, la diabetes,
las enfermedades del corazón y el
cáncer. La segunda detalla los siete
mandamientos para lograr una
buena salud a largo plazo, no solo
promoviendo una alimentación
balanceada y ejercicio regular,
pero también la importancia del
descanso, el control del estrés, la
vida sexual, como procrear bebés
saludables y finalmente cómo evitar
los errores médicos.
Dante Gebel: 8/13,
7pm @ MIAMI DADE COLLEGE
El amor en los tiempos del Facebook
(HarperCollins, $13.99) es una crónica
desprolija acerca del amor, una compilación
de apuntes que surgen del alma, pero que
en definitiva provienen del mayor sentimiento
que nos regaló nuestro Dios. «Un libro
que deberían leer por lo menos una vez mis
amigos solteros, los novios, aquellos que solo
quieren vivir un buen momento sin comprometerse demasiado, los que tienen el
corazón destrozado, los posesivos, los que
tienen miedo a confesar sus sentimientos,
los casados que sienten que se les enfrió la
llama, los que toleran un noviazgo disfuncional, los enamorados no correspondidos,
y fundamentalmente, los enamorados del
amor». – Recomendación del autor.
Ismael Cala: 8/28,
6:30pm @ GABLES
La vida es una piñata (HarperCollins,
$14.99) te abrirá los ojos para valorar lo
que realmente importa en esta celebración
llamada vida, incluyendo la gran diferencia
entre los valores materiales y los espirituales».
– Dr. César Lozano. Este libro cambiará tu
manera de ver la vida, tu mundo, tus ideales,
tus paradigmas y tu sentido de propósito.
La piñata, como la vida, está llena de
situaciones impredecibles, pero tú decides
cómo reaccionar ante ellas. Nunca más v
erás una piñata sin pensar en las grandes
metáforas creadas en esta obra.
