In CAN'T GET ENOUGH (Doubleday, $19.95), by Connie Briscoe, the best-selling author dishes the dirt on the behind-the-scenes adventures of her scandalous cast of characters. Battling temptations, and often succumbing, Briscoe's characters plumb their unlimited bank accounts, slip out of their Jimmy Choo's shoes and recline on Pratesi sheets all while providing a juicy pre-summer read in the process. It's the story of men and women who simply can't get enough--even when they've got it all.
In SO ... WHAT'S NEXT? (AuthorHouse, $24.95) veteran Detroit TV anchor Amyre Makupson asks ordinary people to talk about their perceptions of what happens after death. The book is a compilation of interviews and the result is an interesting myriad of thoughts on the after life. LET AMERICA BE AMERICA AGAIN (George Braziller, Inc., $29.95), by Langston Hughes, woodcuts by Antonio Frasconi, the artist illustrates Hughes' poem with 32 woodcuts in this celebration of the poem's inspiring message, adding a rich visual dimension to the poet's verses. The book features a foreword by Henry Louis Gates Jr.
