Authors on the Air: Bill Boggs, Again; Girls Gone Mild; Martin Amis’s House

Compiled by Diane Patrick -- Publishers Weekly, 7/2/2007 7:29:00 AM

This morning, The Early Show hosted Emmy-winning talk-show host Bill Boggs, whose new book is Got What It Takes? Successful People Reveal How They Made It to the Top (Collins, $21.95).

Diane Rehm interviewed Wendy Shalit, author of Girls Gone Mild: Young Women Reclaim Self-Respect and Find It's Not Bad to Be Good (Random House, $25.95).

Authors on The Leonard Lopate Show:

60 Minutes investigative producer and filmmaker Barry Lando unraveled Web of Deceit: The History of Western Complicity in Iraq, from Churchill to Kennedy to George W. Bush (Other Press, $24.95), which, PW said, “offers readers a grasp of the country America has broken more than perhaps any other.”

Martin Amis discussed his new novel, House of Meetings (Knopf, $23).

Liz Perle explored Money, a Memoir: Women, Emotions, and Cash (Picador, $14; Audio Renaissance abridged CD, $24.95). PW’s review of the audiobook noted that “it succeeds in driving home its primary message—that women need to be less ambivalent about money and more active in investing in the future—and in urging listeners to think about money in terms of not only what it can purchase but how it has shaped their lives.”
