Angela's Ashes Frank McCourt Recommended by: Cristie W. It is a wonder that McCourt survived his childhood in the slums of Depression-era Limerick, Ireland: three of his siblings did not. Even more astonishing is how generous of spirit he became and remains. Keep It Covered!	One Hundred Years of Solitude Gabriel Garcia Marquez Recommended by: Rick H. With One Hundred Years of Solitude Márquez introduced Latin American literature to a world-wide readership. Translated into more than two dozen languages, his brilliant novel of love and loss in Macondo stands at the apex of 20th-century literature. Keep It Covered!
A Woman of Passion Virginia Henley Recommended by: Jossie A. "The story is set in the Tudor court and is based on the very real Elizabeth Hardwick who served as a friend and confidant to Queen Elizabeth I from their teenage years to adulthood. It is a wonderful story based on facts but embellished to tell a story that captivates its reader from the first page." Keep It Covered!	Cane River Lalita Tademy Recommended by: Adisa C. This riveting family saga chronicles four generations of women born into slavery along the Cane River in Louisiana. It is also a tale about the blurring of racial boundaries: great-grandmother Elisabeth notices an unmistakable "bleaching of the line" as first her daughter, then her granddaughter, and finally her great-granddaughter choose (or are forcibly persuaded) to bear the illegitimate offspring of the area's white French planters.

Watchers Dean Koontz Recommended by: Cathy H. Two creatures-one good, the other evil-the end result of experiments in genetic engineering and enhanced intelligence, escape from a government laboratory and bring either doom or a touching new kind of love to those they encounter. Keep It Covered!	Iron Lace Emille Richardson Recommended by: Crystal G. "This is historical fiction set in Louisiana, dealing with race issues from the turn of the 20th century through the Civil Rights movement. I was captivated by this book and it's sequel." Keep It Covered!
Portnoy's Complaint Philip Roth Recommended by: John M. For everyone who thinks the epitome of gross-out humor is "There's Something About Mary", Philip Roth went farther almost thirty years earlier. What's more outrageous? Besides crossing the line of decency for hilarious results, "Portnoy's Complaint" is a fascinating stream-of-consciousness novel that reveals the true thoughts, fears, and neuroses of a young man. Keep It Covered!	Daughter of God Lewis Perdue Recommended by: Ellen S. "This is definitely a different type of thriller – one that plunges the heroes, and the reader, on a journey of faith. The story has a very interesting premise and as it unfolded it made me examine my own beliefs..." More Keep It Covered!
Who Moved My Cheese Spencer Johnson, MD Recommended by: Jen S. "It's a good motivational book for almost any age - preferably 10 yrs and up. It has a lesson to it that talks about change and how to deal with it. Also, not to follow what everyone else does and to be yourself. It only takes an adult about 1 hour to read." Keep It Covered!	The Royals Kitty Kelley Recommended by: Ellen N. "I know what you're thinking, trashy gossip writer, but it was a real hoot, a lot of fun, and my husband and I both fought over who got to read it, as we were both reading it at the same time. It's the story of the Windsors - the world's most dysfunctional family." Keep It Covered!
Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood Rebecca Wells Recommended by: Theresa L. The Ya-Yas broke the no-booze rule at the cotillion, skinny-dipped their way to jail in the town water tower, disrupted the Shirley Temple look-alike contest, and bonded for life because, as one says, "It's so much fun being a bad girl!" Keep It Covered!	A Widow for One Year John Irving Recommended by: Rick H. One of the many aspects of John Irving's writing is his off the cuff humor and somewhat cynical view of the world. The virtual impossibilty of the plot is not a distraction, but a pleasant and entertaining escape... Keep It Covered!
Catch-22 Joseph Heller Recommended by: Mary F. "Such a classic that the title has become part of our language. I heard Heller read from this during my first pass through undergraduate school. What a Brooklyn accent! It made it perfect." Keep It Covered!	The Witness Sandra Brown Recommended by: AliceAnn S. "Gut-wrenchingly suspenseful story of a woman on the run from the atrocities committed by her husband and his father. Start early because you will not be able to put it down, and when you are finished you will not be able to sleep!" Keep It Covered!
The Hotel New Hampshire John Irving Recommended by: Rick H. "One of Irving's finest, full of his characteristic dark humor and pathos. This book contains the most evocative description of how "love" feels that I've ever read.. one page worth the admission price alone!" Keep It Covered!	Snow Falling on Cedars David Guterson Recommended by: Tom R. "Just in case it hasn’t made it onto the list... The only courtroom book I’ve read that deserves to be mentioned with To Kill a Mockingbird. Maybe better. Beautifully written." Keep It Covered!
