Geek Love by Katherine Dunn
A cult classic I’d avoided because it seemed too grotesque – which it is – but it has an amazing level of depth and brilliance. Mind blowing! ~ Karen
Fate Is the Hunter by Ernest J. Gann
Commercial flying pre-World War II and events during war. If you think flying is scary now, check this out. ~ Jim
Bold Spirit by Linda Hunt
Non-fiction. True story about Helga Estby’s forgotten walk across Victorian America. Family and friends almost totally disowned her. She had hoped to earn enough money to save the family farm. ~ Charlotte
Hope: A Tragedy by Shalom Auslander
Sardonic, offensive and “hold your belly” funny. Picture a Holocaust theme where the reader is recommended to avoid HOPE. A terrific read! ~ Beatrice
I Was Amelia Earhart by Jane Mendelsohn
Fictional account of the heroine. Writing style is narrative, but a blend between past and present, and first and third person. Poetic. ~ Anonymoys
Map of Bones by James Rollins
Adventure and mystery. Religious science fiction involving the magi. Quick read. Very enjoyable. Favorite new author. ~ Christie
The Witness by Nora Roberts
Very intriguing. Felt like you were running from mob. ~ Lillian

Fascinating snapshot of a former street performer and spiritual seeker as he prepares to bring Andrew Lloyd Weber’s phenomenon – Cats – to the Broadway stage. Decptively p
rofound and touching rendering of a lightweight subject. Also a peek into gay life in NYC as AIDS was beginning to appear. ~ Helen
The Waikiki Widow by Juanita Sheridan
Written in 1953, a vintage Hawaiian mystery, with two engaging protagonists. Very entertaining. ~ Susan
