More September Book Recs

Tris, a voracious reader (and very cool chick) from Eugene sent a fantastic list by email:

"I was traveling a lot...
City of Thieves, by David Benihoff

Out Stealing Horses by Per Petterson

A Fairly Honourable Defeat by Iris Murdoch

The Bulwark by Theodore Dreiser

House of Seven Gables by Nathaniel Hawthorne

White Noise by Don Delillo

and Wuthering Heights by Anne Bronte
My 12 year-old and I have been reading lots of Jane Austen porn (you know the fan fiction that keeps the story of Pride & Prejudice going and going and...)"  THANKS, TRIS!

Teddy in Chicago barked a question at me: “Has anyone read Pride and Prejudice and Zombies? I’m intrigued, but not enough to invest in it yet – need to hear reviews from you guys, reviewers I trust!"

  1. Out Stealing Horses was a huge surprise to me - I wasn't sure what to expect and found this to be wonderfully sad and tragic while at the same time incredibly warm. Was a completely inventive story
