Librarians Are Reading...
At a recent staff meeting TSCPL staffers shared what they were reading. Here's 
the list, with comments from the readers:
Gluten Free Girl by Shauna Ahern --Not just your typical recipe book, but also her story. She writes so well it's a fun read.
The First Patient by Michael Palmer --Better than his last one, a medical thriller, an easy read and quick.
The Appeal by John Grisham --Not one of his best, different, especially the ending.
Ciao Italia Slow and Easy by Mary Ann Esposito --(a cookbook) I'm not so sure, it doesn't have very good pictures, but I am going to try a recipe from it.
Fowl Weather by Bob Tarte --It's really, really good, very involving.
Antony and Cleopatra by Colleen McCullough --Extremely historically detailed.
Bird of Another Heaven by James D. Houston --The stuff about the last King of Hawaii is fascinating.
The Summer of Ordinary Ways by Nicole Helget --A memoir, the chapters read like short stories, full of indelible images, grim yet the writing is beautiful.
Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe --Still a really good book, really great characters, her favorite was Ophelia.
The Galton Case by Ross McDonald --An excellent hard-boiled story in the vein of Dashell Hammet
.
Against the Machine by Lee Siegel --A cultural study of the Internet and how it has affected human interactions.
Repossessed by A.M. Jenkins --A demon vacations by possesing a human teenage boy, it takes you through what it means to be human in a fun story. (Also a Printz honor book)
Book of a Thousand Days by Shannon Hale --A fractured fairy tale, she loves stories like this where the female characters get to be the hero.
