Book of the Week:   The Watch that Ends the Night: Voices of the Titanic by Allan Wolf

The voices in this remarkable re-creation of the Titanic disaster span classes and stations, from Margaret (“the unsinkable Molly”) Brown to the captain who went down with his ship; from the lookout and wireless men to a young boy in search of dragons and a gambler in search of marks. Slipping in telegraphs, undertaker’s reports, and other records, poet Allan Wolf offers a breathtaking, intimate glimpse at the lives behind the tragedy, told with clear-eyed compassion and astounding emotional power. –amazon.com

TV show of the week:
Ugly Betty

This ABC series follows Betty Suarez, an ordinary girl from Queens, N.Y., who is smart, hardworking and savvy but completely clueless when it comes to style. When publishing mogul Bradford Meade names his son Daniel the new editor-and-chief of his prised fashion magazine Mode, he hires Betty to be Daniel’s new assistant — mainly because he knows his son won’t fall for her. Betty struggles to fit in with her new style obsessed co-workers, but with her optimism and perseverance she makes the best of her new opportunity.
