|  | Are You Normal? by Bernice Kanner
From sea to shining sea, Americans are remarkably alike, incredibly different, and just plain strange. In this clever, fun and fascinating peek into the private lives of real Americans, columnist Bernice Kanner shares a delicious slice of American pie with humorous facts like: Of the half of us who have pets at home, 45.5 allow them in the room during sex. One out of every four ice cream orders is vanilla; only one in nine is for chocolate. Four out of ten of us admit we've been so mad we've hurled footwear at another person. 60 of men spit in public. One in ten people say they have seen a ghost. Almost one quarter of us regularly check ourselves out in store windows and mirrors. 7 out of 100 Americans have flossed their teeth with their hair. Over 27 of people skip ahead to find out what will happen in a book before they finish it. AUTHOR: Bernice Kanner

 | Reviving Ophelia by Linda Stephens, Mary Pipher
According to the author, adolescence is a time when girls begin to separate from their parents, emotionally, and intellectually. Their source of guidance distanced, they often turn to readily available authorities--the media, mass marketing, and their peers--for advice. The messages can be damaging and often result in a dramatic loss of self-esteem. Dr. Pipher illustrates her points with case studies and explains the behaviors of adolescent girls, their socialization, and the damaging ways they cope with stress. Essential reading for any parent of the teenaged girl. AUTHOR: Linda Stephens, Mary Pipher
