The titles below are just a small selection of the wonderful used books that are for sale at our UUFG BookStore, in the Phillips Social Hall, following Sunday service.

• "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly", Jean-Dominique Bauby, paperback.  In December 1995, Jean-Dominique Bauby, the 43-year old editor of French "Elle", suffered a massive stroke that left him completely and permanently paralyzed, a victim of "locked-in syndrome".  Where once he had been renowned for his gregariousness and wit, Bauby now found himself imprisoned in an inert body, able to communicate only by blinking his left eye.  The miracle is that in doing so he was able to compose this stunningly eloquent memoir, which was published two days before Bauby's death in 1996.  It is less a record of affliction than it is a celebration of the liberating power of consciousness.
• "Wisdomkeepers: Meetings  With Native American Spiritual Elders", Steve Wall and Harvey Arden, hardcover.  "The spiritual heritage of Native American people is here – it has not been extinguished.  I believe the spiritual fire still burns and is beckoning for America, indeed the world, to come closer, to listen, to learn, and to share in its warmth and comfort."
• "Historical Atlas of World Mythology, vol I. The Way of the Animal Powers. Part 2: Mythologies of the Great Hunt", Joseph Campbell.
• "Historical Atlas of World Mythology, vol II.  The Way of the Seeded Earth. Part 1, The Sacrifice",  Joseph Campbell.
• "The Power of Myth", Joseph Campbell with Bill Moyers.  Campbell and Moyers offer a brilliant combination of wisdom and wit in conversations that range from modern marriage to virgin births, from savior figures to heroic figures such as Luke Skywalker from "Star Wars".
• "The Temple Bombing", Melissa Fay Greene, paperback.  At 3:37 in the morning of Sunday, Oct. 12, 1958, a bundle of dynamite blew out the side wall of the Temple, Atlanta's oldest and richest synagogue.  The devastation to the building was vast – but even greater were the changes those 50 sticks of dynamite make to Atlanta, the South and, ultimately, all of the United States.
• "The Compleat Angler" by Izaak Walton, illustrated by Douglas Gorsline.  A Collector's Library of Famous Editions from the Easton Press.  A handsome volume in the extraordinary style of the famous 1948 edition.  The original as a monument of English literature, a 17th-century classic that owes its popularity for over three centuries not to what practical or impractical information it may dispense about fishing, but to Izaak Walton's preoccupations and exquisite manner.
• "Absolute Friends", John Le Carre, hardcover. 
• "Personal History", Katharine Graham, paperback. A #1 national bestseller and winner of the Pulitzer Prize.  The woman who piloted the "Washington Post" through the crises of the Pentagon Papers and Watergate, tells her story – one that is extraordinary both for the events it encompasses and for the courage, candor, and dignity of its telling.
• "Notes From a Small Island",  Bill Bryson, paperback.  An uproarious social commentary that conveys the true glory of Britain, from the satiric pen of an unapologetic Anglophile.
• "Why Christianity Must Change of Die: A Bishop Speaks to Believers in Exile",  John Shelby Spong, paperback.  An important and respected voice for liberal lAmerican Christianity for the past twenty years, Bishop Spong integrates his often controversial stands on the Bible, Jesus, theism, and morality into an intelligible creed that speaks to today's thinking Christian.
• "Bleachers: a Novel",  John Grisham, hardcover.  One of his many well-written and fast-paced novels.  In "Bleachers", high-school all-American Neely Crenshaw was probably the best quarterback ever to play for the legendary Messina Spartans.  Fifteen years have gone by since those glory days, and Neely has come home to Messina to bury Coach Eddie Rake, the man who molded the Spartans into an unbeatable football dynasty.
• "The Glass Castle: a Memoir", Jeannette Walls, paperback.  A remarkable memoir of resilience and redemption, and a revelatory look into a family at once deeply dysfunctional and uniquely vibrant.  When sober, Jeannette's brilliant and charismatic father captured his children's imagination, teaching them physics, geology, and how to embrace life fearlessly.  But when he drank, he was dishonest and destructive.  Her mother was a free spirit who abhorred the idea of domesticity and didn't want the responsibility of raising a family.
• "Dead Men Do Tell Tales: The Strange and Fascinating Cases of a Forensic Anthropologist", William R. Maples and Michael Browning, paperback.  Maples was the curator of t he C. A. Pound Human Identification Laboratory at The Florida Museum of Natural History here in Gainesville.  "When he's not shattering myths about maggots, Dr. Maples is delightfully unraveling true murder mysteries, ancient and modern.  He's not just another clever forensic detective – he's a poet, a philosopher and sly commentator on the fractured human condition, pre- and post-mortem."
