Entertainment Weekly (just crown me now Princess of Pop Culture!) has published this list in their current issue. I will list here the top 10 and challenge everyone to read them over the summer with me (at least read the #1???!!!) :
10) The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle (Haruki Murakami)
9) Cold Mountain (Charles Frazier)
8) Selected Stories (Alice Munro)
7) Maus (Art Spiegelman)
6) Mystic River (Dennis Lehane)
5) American Pastoral (Philip Roth)
4) The Liars' Club (Mary Karr)
3) Beloved (Toni Morrison)
2) Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (JK Rowling)
1) The Road (Cormac McCarthy)
Go Read!
Read on!

Hi Everyone!
It was fun to see you all again!
I have the recipes for the "Petit di Pollo alla Michele" and also for the "Asparagus with Tarragon Butter Sauce" if anyone is interested.
My e-mail is: mike.mccoll@comcast.net
Thanks!
Mike
I'd love your recipes! Everything was fabulous (as usual). Katie, at one time we talked about having a recipe file feature to this blog... is that something easy to do or difficult?
Sure. I can post a "featured recipe" and then have a link to more recipes on a new page.
I would volunteer to be the "recipe administrator".
Just email them to me at khogan23@hotmail.com.

Re: the 100 Best Books
I went to AbeBooks.com (link is on the right under Quick Links) and found 6 of the titles on this list and ordered them for less than $20! When you go there, a list will come up with the book you search for and you choose the price you want to pay and order. Very cool. So I'll be reading some classics!
I also got Cormac McCarthy's OTHER very famous book, "No Country for Old Men" which was recently made into a movie which won some awards as I understand it (haven't seen it) but I'm going to read that, too.
Happy reading, all! So many books, so little time.....
