From Louis Zoellar Bickett:
Have you read James Dickey’s To The White Sea? It is one of the best novels of World war II (the fire bombing of Tokyo). And, The Archivist: A novel by Martha Cooley is quite wonderful as well. Both novels are wonderful stories and quite original.

Cheryl Truman, a Kentucky native, reads to excess, owns too many pets and is occasionally successful in her crusade to get her children to read Erik Larson and Mary Doria Russell. She occupies herself wondering when Chuck Palahniuk is going to write a children's book. Her favorite book, at least for now, is Wallace Stegner's Angle of Repose. Truman is seeking a doorstop book to carry her through the summer season -- something like Pillars of the Earth or An Instance of the Fingerpost: juicy, historical and including absolutely no abdominal-flattening exercises. Your nominations are welcome. E-mail Cheryl
