Michelle, a biography of the First Lady by Washington Post staff writer Liza Mundy, was one of the first out of the gate; a New York Times best seller, the book has an impressive 170,000 copies in print after seven printings. The Mundy book proved Michelle Obama's international appeal; there are now 15 foreign-language editions of the book, including Arabic, Portuguese and Polish...

In his tome on the Big Four - Roy Cullen, Clint Murchison, Sid Richardson and H.L. Hunt - Burroughs, author of Barbarians at the Gate, offers a Hollywood-worthy story that's equal parts political investigative journalism and dramatic family history. Think oil wells gushing black crude hundreds of feet in the air, the pitfalls of billions in new money, and family scandals that include bigamy, ungrateful children, trust funds and professional sports teams...
