A Spectator Book of the Year It's fashionable to think of the writers of the past as irredeemably tarnished by prejudice. Aristotle despised women. John Milton, the great champion of free speech, wouldn't have granted it to Catholics. Edith Wharton's imaginative sympathies stopped short of her Jewish characters. But what if it is only through the works of such individuals that we can achieve a necessary perspective on the troubles of the present? Join literary scholar Alan Jacobs for a truly nourishing feast of learning. Discover what Homer can teach us about force, what Machiavelli has to say about reading and what Charlotte Brontë reveals about race. Not all the guests are people you might want to invite into your home, but they all bring something precious to the table. In Breaking Bread with the Dead, an omnivorous reader draws us into close and sympathetic engagement with minds across the ages, from Horace to Donna Haraway.

Equestrian investigator, Jesse Statham, has several problems; one is that she uncovers a dead body at the racetrack where her most valued horse is kept. Jesse, along with Georgia Lee, her boss who is often called J.P., for just another pain, get into more than two "mental-pausal" women should. As the killers of the horsey set try to cover their tracks, Jesse and Georgia are right behind them, or one step ahead. Combine all of this with a nymphomaniac friend, a secretary from hell, and a dog on Prozac. Jesse hardly has the energy to crack open another hate mail fortune cookie that her Chinese cook concocts, while J.P. has the energy of a spastic teenager partying in her office after hours. Although completely opposite in many ways, the two are both highly respected equestrian authorities who share the rather peculiar nocturnal habit of simultaneously sleeping with fans to keep them cool and heating pads to keep them warm. These two Southern "pistol pals" are definitely not damsels in distress.
