Favorite Books
Michael Chabon: The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay
Kavalier & Clay is one of those books that takes your breath away and compels you to keep turning the pages. See review
Robert Penn Warren: All the King's Men
I never would have guessed I'd like a book set in the world of corrupt politics this much. Tremendous writing, timeless themes. See review
Mike Tidwell: Bayou Farewell
Part travelogue, part environmental warning cry, and sadly now (post-Katrina), part nightmare come true. See review
Brad Kessler: Birds in Fall
Just as emotionally absorbing and heart wrenching as you'd expect a book about grief to be, but to my surprise it was an absolute pleasure to read.
Wallace Stegner: The Big Rock Candy Mountain
An impressive first work by this amazing author. See review
Edward Abbey: Desert Solitaire
Catures the spirit and beauty of our precious natural wonder, the American West. See review
Bill Bryson: A Walk in the Woods: Rediscovering America on the Appalachian Trail
Here's a book I could read time and again and still get as much pleasure from it as the first time. See review
Michael Shaara: The Killer Angels: A Novel
This riveting account of Gettysburg is one of the few books I've ever read more than once. And that's saying something.
Stewart O'Nan: A Prayer for the Dying: A Novel
One of the most amazing reading experiences of my life. See review
Tony Horwitz: Confederates in the Attic: Dispatches from the Unfinished Civil War
Travelogue, contemporary social documentary, and entertaining Civil War history all rolled into one. See review
Richard Russo: Straight Man
Great characters, great laughs, great fun. See review
