How Fiction Works
James Wood
Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2008
Brilliant little book
Breathtaking exposition on the development of the novel over the last few centuries, in particular the "realist" style. Brilliant non-fiction gem about fiction. Opinionated rather than encyclopedic, but a great touchstone for further reading.
The design of the book ...

In the Woods
Tana French
Penguin (Non-Classics), 2008
The Perfect October Read
French's debut really is everything it's cracked up to be: literate, taught, and consummately spooky. Her characters are achingly believable, from the police, victim and villains right down to the not-so-innocent bystanders. The central mystery is satisfying as well, ...

A Walk in the Woods: Rediscovering America on the Appalachian Trail
Bill Bryson
Anchor, 2006
Typical witty, funny, entertaining and educational fare from Bryson
I will admit right off the bat to being a big Bill Bryson fan. My only disappointment when it comes to him is that he hasn't written more. I am trying to catch up on some of his previous works so I read a walk in the woods. Needless to say you will not be ...

Hot Mahogany
Stuart Woods
Putnam Adult, 2008
Stuart Woods Continues to Entertain
Stone Barrington and his "friends and lovers" provide another exciting story. Funny, good plot, and great ending say it all. The author made one error in the book and I was able to email him and tell him of the correction. Did not take away from a wonderful story.

Warriors: Tigerstar and Sasha #1: Into the Woods (Warriors: Tigerstar and Sasha)
Erin Hunter
TokyoPop, 2008
Interesting
This was a fairly good book, revealing much about Sasha's origins and Tigerstar's time in ShadowClan. Sasha is much more meek than how she is portrayed in the TNP series, and her feelings for Tigerstar and her reasonings for wanting to be with him are explained. The ...

Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children From Nature-Deficit Disorder
Richard Louv
Algonquin Books, 2008
Parents NEED this, take it from a forest kid
I'm young enough that I still get called "kid" by my friends' parents, and when I saw the cover of this book in the store, with the kid holding a frog, I instantly felt like this book was about someone just like me. When I started reading, I felt so even more.
I've ...

Norwegian Wood
Haruki Murakami
Vintage, 2000
A small miracle
Murakami has captured me for years with stories about modern Japan and his strange pasta making anti-heroes. The mear thought of him writing a plain romantic novel has kept me from reading this book for years - after finishing it, I can say that all these doubts has ...

Lottery

Putnam Adult, 2007
The main character, Perry, will stay w/ me for a long time...
I just finished reading "Lottery" last night--finished with tears in my eyes. Since I read about 100 pages of fiction a day, this is somewhat remarkable. So I simply had to share how much I enjoyed it, how impressed I was the writing, and how much I look forward to ...
