Just read the description: Sudoku - combinatorial number-placement puzzle in which the objective is to fill a 9×9 grid with digits so that each column, each row, and each of the nine 3×3 sub-grids that compose the grid (also called “boxes,” “blocks,” “regions,” or “sub-squares”) contains all of the digits from 1 to 9. Need I say more...
...lawyer-turned-thriller writer, with 25 million books in print in the U.S. But with her new nonfiction book, Why My Third Husband Will Be a Dog (St. Martin's), Scottoline may well find herself compared to Nora Ephron. Scottoline's collection of essays from her popular Philadelphia Inquirer column, "Chick Wit," explores the female condition with a lively, original sensibility, which includes calling her former husbands Thing One and Thing Two.

Yet the artist in Fox yearns to pull off one last heist: raiding the farms of Franklin Bean (Michael Gambon) and two other big landowners...
...outside without Secret Service protection. Just ask Lenore Skenazy, who to this day, when you Google "America's Worst Mom," fills the first few pages of results - all because one day last year she let her 9-year-old son ride the New York City subway alone. A newspaper column she wrote about it somehow ignited a global firestorm over what constitutes reasonable risk. She had reporters calling from China, Israel, Australia, Malta. ("Malta! An island!" she marvels. "Who's stalking the kids there? Pirates?") Skenazy decided to fight back, arguing that we have lost our ability to assess risk...
