More lovely lists!! From the Library Journal website: “We can guarantee that each of these books offers a tremendous reading experience. Librarians—and booksellers—should feel confident in recommending them to their readers, suggesting them to book groups, and promoting them through a variety of venues. These are the books Americans will enjoy reading-and discussing,” says Brian Kenney, Editorial Director, Library Journal and School Library Journal.
The following titles make up their inaugural top ten list:
American Terroir: Savoring the Flavors of Our Woods, Waters, and Fields
By Nightfall
Freedom
How to Live: Or A Life of Montaigne in One Question and Twenty Attempts at an Answer
Room
The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks
The Passage
The Tiger: A True Story of Vengeance and Survival
The Warmth of Other Suns: The Epic Story of America’s Great Migration
Walker Evans: Decade by Decade
I’ve heard interesting things about the Cunningham work as well as the one by Skloot. Two of these, however, I started reading and simply could not get through. Thanks for sharing the list! It’s often enlightening to see what books are getting the buzz.
