There are obviously many indicators for which books are among the best. Good reviews, sales figures, chatter, etc. Another great indicator for us here at the library is which books get worn out and justify re-ordering, over and over again.
Listed below are a few such titles, all with fresh new copies in the mix:
Fall On Your Knees could have been written in half the pages. (Ann Marie MacDonald needs a better editor.)
Portnoy's Complaint is a great book, also because it's listed in the Random House 100 Best Novels listing. (I like it too.) http://www.randomhouse.com/modernlibrary/100bestnovels.html
Our goal is to create a forum for book news and related discussion among leisure readers. A place for Halifax leisure readers to interact with their library and the larger community of leisure readers.
Please interact and enjoy.
