Looking for some good fiction to "send your mind on a trip ?" This week's Top Ten at the Library provide nine fiction ( and one non-fiction) suggestions:
1-Away by Amy Bloom
2-Run by Ann Patchett
3-Bridge of Sighs by Richard Russo
4-Nine: Inside the Supreme Court by Jeffrey Toobin
5-Loving Frank by Nancy Horan
6-Songs Without Words by Ann Packer
7-Playing for Pizza by John Grisham
8-Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini
9-Choice by Nicholas Sparks
10-Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen
Not in the Top Ten, but getting attention are these two titles by authors soon to speak at the Library. Put yourself on the reserve lists to read them before you come to the events.
You've Been Warned by James Patterson & Howard Roughan- Patterson produces books at a truly amazing rate. His co-author on this one will be speaking here on November 14 at 7:30pm.
One Drop:My Father's Hidden Life - a Story of Race and Hidden Secrets by Bliss Broyard - Ms Broyard will be here on November 19 at 7:30 pm to talk about her book.
Has anyone read Almost Moon, the new Alice Sebold book? Lovely Bones
was very popular and created a controversy in Westport Middle schools. Matricide sets off the story this time; so far, reviews have been tepid.
For you Ken Follett fans: World Without End is here - all 1014 pages of it! This is the sequel to Pillars of the Earth- a mere 973 pages, in case you want to re-read it before the sequel.

I read Water for Elephants not expecting very much, and I was pleasantly surprised. Thousand Splendid Suns was also a good, fast read. I've heard mixed things about Bridge of Sighs and would be interested in hearing from people who have read it. Thanks.
