JULIUS SHULMAN

architecture photographer

Julius Shulman:

Architecture and Its Photography,

by Julius Shulman (Taschen). "How gratifying to observe a reprise of the works of the giants of the architectural world."

JEFF HYMAN

owner, Gabriel Aviation (Hamptons helicopter ride-share service)

Timequake,

by Kurt Vonnegut (Berkley). "Not only is it funny, but Vonnegut writes what people think and are too afraid to admit, which provokes thoughts most people never have."

JUDITH KRANTZ

author, Sex and Shopping: The Confessions of a Nice Jewish Girl

Mailer: A Biography,

by Mary V. Dearborn (Houghton Mifflin).

"I've long enjoyed my love-hate/admiration-disgust relationship with Mailer.

This brilliant and vastly entertaining book adds fascinating new fuel to the fire."

ADRIAN SMITH

designer and creator, Tomb Raider and Lara Croft

Chasing the Mountain of Light,

by Kevin Rushby (St. Martin's).

"A fascinating

adventure trail that combines extraordinary factual detail with thought-provoking mystery. The story behind the Koh-i-noor diamond is remarkable—I'm sure Lara would have gone to extreme measures for this one!"
