Lexington author Cynthia Ellingsen will be here to discuss and sign her book.
For lifelong friends Jackie, Cheryl, and Doris, life hasn't turned out according to plan. But after a drunken night sampling the delights at a strip club for women, the ladies stumble upon an ingenious idea and open up The Whole Package-the world's first restaurant staffed exclusively by very attractive men. Mixing business with pleasure can be risky, but for these three best friends, getting a little bit outrageous just might be what it takes to make their mark in the world.

Books We Can't Wait to Tell You About
Ever wonder what your local booksellers are doing when we aren't drinking too much coffee and trying to tell you about our favorite book? Well, actually, we're mostly trying to figure out payroll and inventory and web design and all those other things that get in the way of reading or telling you about our reading. But, sometimes we get out into the big wide world of bookselling and go back to school. This past week we've been in New Orleans at the American Booksellers Association Winter Institute. And, while we mostly learned things about payroll and inventory and how to post on Facebook, we also got to spend time listening to some of our favorite authors and publisher reps to make that "to read" list even longer.
So, below are the five books we couldn't wait to tell you about. Some are here now and some are treats we get to look forward to as spring approaches. Some are books we already love and some are the ones that have been moved to the top of our own pile beside the bed.
On the Intrinsic Value of Everything
02/15/2012 7:00 pm
MSU philosophy professor Scott Davison will be signing and discussing his new book beginning at 7 p.m. Even if you're not a philosopher, we hope you'll join us for another fun presentation from Scott.
On the Intrinsic Value of Everything is an illuminating introduction to fundamental questions in ethics.
How—and
to what—we assign value, whether it is to events or experiences or
objects or people, is central to ethics. Something is intrinsically valuable
only if it would be valued for its own sake by all fully informed,
properly functioning persons. Davison defends the controversial view
that everything that exists is intrinsically valuable to some degree.
If
only some things are intrinsically valuable, what about other things?
Where and how do we draw the cutoff point? If only living creatures are
intrinsically valuable, what does this imply for how we value the
environment? If everything has intrinsic value, what practical
implications does this have for how we live our lives? How does this
view fit with the traditional theistic idea that God is the source of
goodness and truth?
Both critics and proponents of the concept of
intrinsic value will find something of interest in this careful
investigation of the basic value structure of the world.
