In 1995 the Austrian Franz West transformed the terraces of the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles into a glorious salon, with ranks of metal sofas draped with bright African fabrics: a new kind of public art for weary museum visitors. Drawing inspiration from the history of art (reclining icons such as Manet's Olympia), psychoanalysis (Freud's sofa in West's native Vienna) and a socially interactive type of art, his work is at once both personal and public. As one of Europe's best-known sculptors, West is regularly invited to such major surveys as Skulptur Projekte in Munster and Documenta. He has gained particular recognition for incorporating the bodies of his spectators into his sculpture, producing oddly-hued forms called Passstucke ('adaptives') -- plaster sculptures designed to be worn, and which contort the wearer into bizarre positions.


Murder Among Friends: A Kate Austen Mystery by Jonnie Jacobs, ISBN 0758200986

Kate Austen discovers the body of fellow divorcee Mona Sterling on the sofa of Mona's plush suburban home--accompanied by a fifth of expensive scotch and an empty bottle of sleeping pills. It would be easy to label it as a suicide, but Kate sees Mona's death as murder. Now, with every clue Kate uncovers, a cold-blooded killer moves closer to home--and to everything Kate holds dear.

Sea Monsters Don't Ride Motorcycles by Debbie Dadey, ISBN 0439044014

There are some pretty weird grown-ups living in Bailey City. But is the winning rider at the motorcycle races really a sea monster?

The Bailey School Kids are going to find out!

Howie ran his hand through his hair and gulped. "What would happen if a sea monster and the Loch Ness Monster clashed right here on Sheldon Beach?"

Eddie sat back down on the sofa and laughed. "That would be great. Maybe we could get front row tickets".

Howie rolled his eyes. "Will you stop fooling around? I'm serious".

"This is no place to be serious", Eddie told his friend. "We're at the beach. We're supposed to have a good time".

"That's right", Melody agreed.

"After all", Liza added, "sea monsters don't ride motorcycles".

These High, Green Hills by Jan Karon, ISBN 0670869341

Jan Karon has created a town where we feel wonderfully at home. In Mitford, a village nestled in the hills of North Carolina, she shows us small-town life for what it really is: completely engrossing. And absolutely hilarious. In this irresistible third book of The Mitford Years series, Father Timothy Kavanagh is married to more than his lovable and eccentric Episcopal parishioners. He's also married to Cynthia, his vivacious and talented neighbor. Suddenly, the routine existence of a sixtysomething bachelor is out the window. How will they keep his sofa-sized dog at a safe distance from her arrogant, albeit famous, cat? Can he learn to love the old-Italian-villa look his wife is bent on giving the rectory? These concerns pale, however, beside the growing pains of Dooley Barlowe, the thrown-away boy whom the rector loves as his own son. Then, the poverty and violence of an area known as the Creek comes knocking at the rectory door. Clearly, being at home in Mitford has its challenges. And,...
