Since reading this gem two summers ago, I haven't been able to resist recommending it whenever asked if I've ready anything good lately.

And thanks for the Kinsella tip, Dixie. I like the oldies, too....it's fun to read books written in the 50's and compare them to today's mass market fiction. Ooh, good call, Teri.

Seriously. I think I have reader's block. Don't forget about Harris's latest spin on the Chocolat characters. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Girl-No-Shadow-Joanne-Harris/dp/0061431621/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1211895414&sr=8-2" rel="nofollow">The Girl with No Shadow </a>has been getting pretty good reviews.

Fencepost Chronicles by W.P. Kinsella is funny and painfully real but the funny wins every time. Poor, Canadian Indians with lots of problems and a great never say die attitude.
