Midwest Book Awards 2009 Winners

Can anyone help me through this list and make recommendations? I was interested in "The Poisoning of Michigan," the health winner, and found the rest here.

Would love to, but the catagories are a little odd. Anyone else?

Haven't read any of them although several sound very interesting. Let us know if you read and recommend any!
