Soon to be a major motion picture starring Will Smith & Matt Damon, and directed by Robert Redford. This is a magical tale that takes place in 1931 on a 36-hole golf course located just off the coast of Savannah, Georgia. A once in a lifetime showdown between two great golfing legends - Bobby Jones and Walter Hagen - galvanizes the Depression stricken town, but it is the third competitor, a local troubled war hero, and his mysterious mentor/caddie, Bagger Vance, who carry this inspirational story of golf and redemption. Whether you are a golf fan or not, this is a wonderful, gentle book, that will stay with you long after you turn the last page.


NON-FICTION:

WHO MOVED MY CHEESE?: An A-Mazing Way to Deal with Change in Your Work and in Your Life 
By Spencer Johnson, M.D.
G. P. Putnam's Sons, $19.95 Hardcover
Also Available on Audio from Simon & Schuster, $14.00
(Narrated by Tony Roberts)

A nationwide bestseller, this little book tells the story of Sniff and Scurry (two mice) and Hem and Haw (two "little people" who are the size of mice). These four characters live in a "Maze" and spend their time looking for their "Cheese" to satisfy their lives. The Cheese in the story represents what we want in life: good job, enriching relationship, peace of mind, or whatever we feel will fulfill our lives. Through this simple parable, Dr. Johnson, helps us to be prepared to any changes in our Cheese, and be ready to go in search of a new "Cheese" should our current one disappear. This highly entertaining and insightful book is about how to adapt to change. Whether it is in the work place or in our personal life, change happens all the time, and we can't do anything about it, but what we can do is adapt. "Who Moved My Cheese?" teaches us how to roll with the changes in our lives, and in dealing with them, rather than fighting them, we calm our minds, cut back on stress and many times discover a new (and just as satisfying) "Cheese" to replace the old.
