Most everyone loves a good satire, and this one is written by three people. S.E. Boyd is the nom de plume for James Beard award winning food writer Kevin Alexander, journalist Joe Keohane, and book editor Alessandra Lusardi. Together the trio weaves a romp that courses through one hilarious incident after the next. Filled with real-life people, and the death of a fictional chef, The Lemon simply cannot be put down, until you've reached the end, and then you'll want more. Bon appétit.

Before having a beer brand named after him, this Founding Father, and older cousin of  Presidents, led a fascinating life. A privileged son of a prosperous malt maker (hence the beer tie-in), Samuel Adams ran the family business into the ground, and spent most of his life a poor man, but he made up for his lack of monetary wealth with intellectual and moral capital. Pulitzer Prize winning historian Stacy Schiff writes with insight and wit about an oft forgotten man who played a hugely impactful role in the birth of our nation.
