…is one of the books in danger of being weeded from the shelves of the Fairfox County Library system because it hasn’t been checked out in over two years.
And while people are arguing over the wisdom of running a library system more like a business, viagra buy cialis the question they should be asking is: Why is one of the greatest works of American literature so little valued in a county right next to our nation’s capital?

It’s not that I don’t think women can’t be great writers (and many of my favorite bloggers are women), viagra canada site I just don’t like the way most women write fiction*.
In women-written fiction character is more important than car chases, sildenafil exposition is more valued than explosions, and references to Sense and Sensiblity are more likely than senseless violence.
I believe I can actually tell if a book was written by a woman within the first three pages. How about you? Can you tell if a book was written by a man or a woman without knowing the author’s name? Do you think there’s a difference in the way the sexes tend to write? Or am I just wrong?
*This does have one minor exception…the best book ever written, To Kill a Mockingbird, was written by Harper Lee…a woman.

I love when you stumble onto a new book in a series you love.
I first met Quarry in college.
Quarry is the hitman main character created by crime and comic writer Max Allan Collins.
Collin’s True Crime series is probably his best work, viagra try but I can’t tell you how thrilled I was to stumble across The Last Quarry…the newly-released final book in the series.
It’s not every day that you find a new book in a series you’ve been reading for 20 years.
I’ve got to go read now. After 20 years of waiting, I can’t wait another minute.

It seems best-selling author
A writer masquerading as something he’s not? I’m outraged.
Oops. Wrong link.
Ignore that link.

If there is even one of these books that you haven’t read yet, viagra buy healing I envy you.
1.) To Kill A Mockingbird – If you only had one book in you…this would be the one you’d want it to be.
2.) Rose – The best book by America’s most underrated author. Martin Cruz Smith’s second Arkady Renko novel Polar Star is also absolutely phenomenal, viagra generic but I decided to limit myself to one book per author in the main section of this list.
3.) Heaven’s Prisoner – Prose so dense it may as well be poetry. James Lee Burke is a writer of mysteries, but the real mystery is why more people don’t realize he’s a national treasure.
4.) The Hobbit – The book the each part of the Lord of the Rings Trilogy wished it could be.
5.) Lord Foul’s Bane (The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever) – Technically the first book in a long series. But, if you read even one of these books, you’ll forgive me for sneaking it onto the list.
6.) A Walk in the Woods – Bill Bryson needs to write more…now.
7.)The Once & Future King – Royalty in book form.
8.)The Last Unicorn – Absolutely beautiful. Like moonlight on snow. Peter S. Beagle’s first book, A Fine and Private Place, is also highly recommended.
9.) The Butcher’s Theater – Completely unlike any of Kellerman’s other books.
10.) Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone – I know…it’s too popular to be good. And yet, it’s no accident that these books are about magic.
You’ll notice this list is short on classics and non-fiction. There’s no Divine Comedy, Origin of Species, The Waste Land, etc… The classics are classics for a reason (and I love many of them), but the books I listed are ones that I never get tired of reading.
