Bad Pets: True Tales of Misbehaving Animals
Allan Zullo - 2010
This book is a lighthearted collection of true stories involving mammals and birds — both wild and tame — whose antics have ranged from the absurd to the zany. If these creatures were people, many of their shenanigans would have landed them in jail, like the shoplifting seagull, carjacking dog, and clothes-stealing cat. You'll read about such outrageous animals as the dog who "drove" a garbage truck into the river... the deer that sent students scattering after it crashed into their classroom... the potty-mouthed parrot who loved offending people as they walked to church... and the bears that barged into a restaurant and ate all the food left behind by the fleeing customers.(From Allan Zullo's website)

All of These People: A Memoir
Fergal Keane - 2006
As one of the BBC's leading correspondents, he recounts extraordinary encounters on the front lines. Alongside his often brutal experiences in the field, he also describes unflinchingly the challenges and demons he has faced in his personal life growing up in Ireland.Keane’s existence as a war reporter is all that we imagine: frantic filing of reports and dodging shells, interspersed with rest in bombed-out hotels and concrete shelters. Life in such vulnerable areas of the globe is emotionally draining, but full of astonishing moments of camaraderie and human bravery. And so this is also a memoir of the human connections, at once simple and complex, that are made in extreme circumstances. These pages are filled with the memories of remarkable people. At the heart of Fergal Keane's story is a descent into and recovery from alcoholism, spanning two generations, father and son; a different kind of war, but as much part of the journey of the last twenty-five years as the bullets and bombs.
