Hey Nostradamus!
by
"I've read just about everything Coupland and I'd say HN! is his masterpiece. Uplifting without being overly religious; heartbreaking while never being depressing."

The Garden of Last Days
by
"The best 9/11 book out there. Blows away DiLillo's Falling Man. I was shaking when I finished it. Dubus III has a way of capturing the flaws in each of characters that makes you want to reach your hand into his novels and start slapping people around."

The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle
by
"Murakami is to the written word as David Lynch is to film. He slowly twists reality ever so slightly and makes you believe it all without ever batting an eye."

The Abstinence Teacher
by
"Once again Perrotta nails life in surburbia. Here's hoping Kate Winslet signs on again, and this time gets the freakin' Oscar!"

The House of Sleep
by
"Where do you draw the line between obession and love? Between dreams and reality? Coe's novel is so full of twists and turns that it's almost hard to keep everything straight. A rewarding read once you settle in, and one that I'm still trying to wrap my brain around."
