|
Midnight Champagne |
Ansay, A. Manette |
Consider packing this book for a coast-to-coast flight,
or enjoying it as a great weekend or evening break. |
|
|
|
England, England |
Barnes, Julian |
Recommend for those who enjoy satire. Barnes
develops great characters and carries off the depths of illusion and reality
with aplomb. |
|
|
|
The Redhunter: A Novel Based on the Life of Senator Joe McCarthy |
Buckley, Jr., William F. |
Recommended. Nobody except Buckley could succeed
in putting such a human face on a character portrayed in a single dimension
for the 40+ years since his death. |
|
|
|
Wrong Information Is Being Given Out at Princeton |
Donleavy, J.P. |
Take a pass. |
|
|
|
The Testament |
Grisham, John |
Recommended as a perfect vacation novel. |
|
|
|
East of the Mountains |
Guterson, David |
Wait for his next book. |
|
|
|
Bag of Bones |
King, Stephen |
Recommended as a haunting tale with better character development than we can recall from his horror stories of the past. |
|
|
|
The Hundred Days |
O'Brian, Patrick |
Recommended. This is the latest in the Jack Aubrey-Stephen Maturin series of historical fiction set in the British navy during the Napoleonic era. |
|
|
|
Mackerel by Moonlight |
Weld, William |
1/00 |
More fun reading this than listening to current political campaigners. Well-written and good for a weekend break or long flight. |
