READ

[toosuto]

I'm headed to the library on Thursday and I am looking for a recommended reading list to take with me. The tiny branch Library near our home is now picked over and it's meager sci-fi offerings have been consumed. What do you think I should read (for enjoyment) I am hoping to get decent suggestions outside of the sci-fi/fantasy realm as that is the only section I have the patience to browse for reading myself and I am feeling the need to read something more... well something else anyway. Short fiction, non-fiction, historical fiction or even something sociomalogical if it is entertainingly written.

Our bookstore got to have breakfast with him once, because our sales of Lamb were an anomalous spike for the region. This was entirely due to the manager loving the book and all but forcing the staff to read it (okay, forcing by scrounging as many free copies as he could... I actually haven't read it yet.) A motivated sales staff works quite well to promote a book. ("I LOVED this book; try it!")

I got a copy of Fluke, signed, from that breakfast. And Christopher Moore talked about how he'd always wanted to be a horror writer... but after months of writers' groups laughing hysterically over his descriptions of blood and gore, bowed to the inevitable.
