My Lobotomy
by Howard Dully and Charles Fleming
Hardcover: 288 pages
Publisher: Crown (September 4, 2007)
Language: English
ISBN-10: 0307381269
ISBN-13: 978-0307381262
By Jessica Stewart, Courier Editor-in-Chief
'My name is Howard Dully. I'm a bus driver. I'm a husband, and a father, and a grandfather. I'm into doo-wop music, travel, and photography.
I'm also a survivor: In 1960, when I was twelve years old, I was given a transorbital, or 'ice pick,' lobotomy."
So begins Dully's heartrending memoir, a chilling tale that plays rock'n roll upon the heartstrings. I cannot say I enjoyed this book because the entire time I read it I was either enraged or depressed. Nevertheless, it was difficult for me to put it down, and I definitely recommend that everybody read it. Lobotomies, as horrifying as they are, are an essential piece of mankin's history, and everybody should know about them so that history does not repeat itself.

Circle of Three: In the Dreaming
by Isobel Bird
Paperback: 224 pages
Publisher: Collins (1 Oct 2001)
Language English
ISBN-13: 978-0007120406"The three friends had only experienced two of the eight sabbats, or holidays, that made up what was called the Wheel of the Year, but both of those sabbats had had unforgettable results. At Ostara, the sabbat commemorating the beginning of spring, they had met two people who quickly became important in their lives. One was Sasha, a runaway who had later been taken in by a member of a local coven. The other was Tyler. He was Kate's boyfriend--for now. She'd broken up with someone else to go out with Tyler, and recently a kiss between Kate and this ex-boyfriend, Scott, had raised some doubts in Kate about her feelings for Tyler. At the May Day sabbat of Beltane, Cooper had had her own experience with the power of magic when she'd come face-to-face with a dead girl who had been haunting her dreams, dragging them all into a roller coaster of an adventure that had culminated in Annie's kidnapping and the unmasking of the girl's murderer. Now they were about to celebrate the third sabbat of the year and a day they had committed themselves to studying with their Wicca class. School had ended for the year only a few days ago. Finals were behind them, and they had the long, lazy summer to look forward to. Starting it off with a celebration with their Wiccan friends was the perfect beginning to what was sure to be a great couple of months."
In this book, the fifth of the
Circle of Three series, the recurring characters Annie, Kate and Cooper all rotate as the focus of the chapters. For example, the first chapter focuses on Annie, the second chapter Kate and the third chapter Cooper.

From wikipedia:
Myles Walter Keogh (March 25, 1840 – June 25, 1876) was an Irishman who fought in Italy during the 1860 Papal War before volunteering for the Union side in the American Civil War (1861 to 1865). During the war years, he was promoted from the rank of Captain to that of Major, finally being awarded the brevet rank of Lieutenant Colonel. After the Civil War ended, Keogh received a permanent commission as Captain of Company I, 7th U.S. Cavalry Regiment commanded by George Armstrong Custer during the Indian Wars of the 1870s. Myles Keogh was killed with Custer at the Battle of the Little Bighorn, June 25 1876.
