Elle Magazine Readers' Prize

I was thrilled to be chosen to contribute reviews to Elle Magazine for its 2004 Readers' Prize column. Free books and a byline are always an enticement. :)
I really loved the first book here, "Leg the Spread." I like non-fiction that's evocative and opens up a whole new subculture for me, especially about things I hadn't thought of getting interested in--here it's the vicious but oddly exhilirating world of stock brokering. "Journey From the Land of No" should be required reading for anyone interested in the real people of Iran, although I found the author's tone a bit detached.
