Book Recommendations?
Submitted by Aldon Hynes on Sat, 11/27/2004 - 21:45
A little over a month ago, on a Blog Explosion blog, Psych Grad Mama asked for some book recommendations. I listed some of my favorites here.
Now, I'm asking for recommendations from the rest of you for a good book for me to read.

Run With The Horsemen - Ferrol Sams
Call It Sleep - Henry Roth
Keeper of The House - Shirley Ann Grau
Cannery Row - John Steinbeck (reread it after a visit thereabouts 2 Summers ago - wow, what a writer!)

Non-fiction:
The Richard Clarke book: Against All Enemies

Chris Locke's The Bombast Transcripts (just reread this, better each time!)
Other:
John Le Carre's Smiley books -- there's a Smiley collection volume, well worth the read. These do, strictly speaking, qualify as fiction, but it is more of an historic overview of not-so-ficticious events.
