 The
Dangerous Life of Altar Boys
by Fuhrman,
Chris
(University of Georgia Press, $14.95, 0820323381) "A touching and surprising
coming of age story, originally published in 1994. It's too bad it was published
after the author's death; who knows what we've lost? " - Linda Cohen,
Little Professor Book Co. , Temecula, CA
 Sometimes
a Great Notion
by Kesey,
Ken
(Penguin, $14.95, 0140045295) "Kesey's death last fall prompted me to tackle
all 632 pages of his 1963 epic novel. Many consider this book to be THE great
Pacific Northwest novel. It is definitely worth the effort to read this classic.
" - Kate Cerino, Paulina Springs Bookshop, Sisters, OR
