On John McCain asking her to be his running mate:
&#8220;I&#8217;d known it was only a matter of time before others saw Alaska&#8217;s potential to contribute to America’s future. Now the time was right.&#8221;

She doesn&#8217;t mention Levi Johnston, the father of her daughter Bristol&#8217;s baby — not once. Her passages about her son Trig, who has Down&#8217;s Syndrome, are incredibly moving.

It&#8217;s going to be a tough year to pick. On the nonfiction side, I loved Blake Bailey&#8217;s wonderful Cheever book, which, as I&#8217;ve said before, redefined  biography for me. <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=shelf-life.ew.com&blog=8336980&post=2247&subd=ewshelflife&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
