Five Authors Whose Books You Don’t Want to Miss
June 11, 2010
Summer typically provides at least a few more hours for reading, whether it’s during vacation or just because you have more daylight hours for relaxing. Here are some authors I consider worth reading:
1. Karen von Blixen-Finecke (Isak Dinesen). “I had a farm in Africa” in the romantic OUT OF AFRICA (first published in 1937) is one of the most memorable first lines in any book I’ve ever read. These six simple words somehow create an atmosphere of intrigue that extends throughout the book. If you have seen the movie and enjoyed it, you will love the book. [Read more]

April 13, 2009
Dr. Robert T. Cochran Jr. came to Borders Saturday, April 4, reading from his new book, Curing Chronic Pain.
“I believe you will marvel, as I constantly do now, at just how much a doctor can learn in four years.” — Robert T. Cochran Jr., M.D.
In Understanding Chronic Pain, Cochran’s first book, he spoke with patients about their experience with unrelenting pain, developing a “thesis that chronic pain was a form of mental illness, and that by understanding and treating the mental illness one could often cure chronic pain.” Cochran saw links between chronic pain and issues such as childhood trauma, depression, substance abuse and bipolar disorder.Cochran was available to sign books for his readers.

Dr. Robert T. Cochran Jr. will be reading and signing copies of his new book, Curing Chronic Pain, on Saturday, April 4 at 3 p.m. at Borders on Wilma Rudolph Boulevard in Clarksville.
“I believe you will marvel, as I constantly do now, at just how much a doctor can learn in four years.” — Robert T. Cochran Jr., M.D.
In Understanding Chronic Pain, Cochran’s first book, he spoke with patients about their experience with unrelenting pain, developing a “thesis that chronic pain was a form of mental illness, and that by understanding and treating the mental illness one could often cure chronic pain.” Cochran saw links between chronic pain and issues such as childhood trauma, depression, substance abuse and bipolar disorder. In Curing Chronic Pain, that thesis has been developed with much more depth and refinement, and offers examples of dramatic cures obtained by the treatment of underlying mental illnesses, often with drugs not conventionally used for that purpose.
