  Mark Holbrook was a legend. A tall, rugged, imposing legend. He'd won a Pulitzer, interviewed kings and queens, presidents and movie stars. Carly Barnett, on the other hand, was a former-beauty-queen-turned-advice-columnist. Not exactly on the same level. Still, Carly was determined to prove that she was more than a pretty face.Mark wasn't sure the beautiful and spirited Carly had what it took to be a reporter, but he was sure that he wanted her. And Mark never denied himself what he wanted. Only, Carly was far better at uncovering the truth than Mark had given her credit for. And sooner or later she'd uncover the most dangerous truth of all—that he couldn't live without her.

  "...where the women are strong, the men are good-looking, and all the children are above average."  There's a reason all those children in Lake Wobegon are above average.  It might be the clean prairie air.  It might be the wholesome wheat that's grown by the Norwegian bachelor farmers.  And it just might be their strong, good-looking parents. 
  Garrison Keillor's collection of "News from Lake Wobegon" monologues -
   all taken from live broadcasts of A Prairie Home Companion is  an extended meditation on the joys, sorrows, challenges, and humor of raising children.  The tales include "Ronnie and the Winnebago" about a young man, his rock-star girlfriend, and his long struggle to earn his father's understanding; "Love While You Dare" the story of August Johnson, who, after losing his brother in a gambler's prank in Copenhagen, flees to America rather than face his mother--who later comes to visit him in Lake Wobegon; and six more splendid, unforgettable accounts of how, in Keillor's words, "the meek shall inherit the earth, and when we have done all we can with our children, it's time to step back and let them inherit it."

  All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn. It's the best book we've had. - Ernest Hemingway 
  A nineteenth-century boy from a Mississippi River town recounts his adventures as he travels down the river with a runaway slave, encountering a family involved in a feud, two scoundrels pretending to be royalty, and Tom Sawyer's aunt who mistakes him for Tom. 
  In this unforgettable adventure for all ages, Twain delves into issues such as racism, friendship, war, religion, and freedom with an uncanny combination of lightheartedness and gravitas. 
  This was the first major American novel to be written in the vernacular, a dark and funny satire that exposes the bigotry and hypocrisy of provincial America during Mark Twain's lifetime. A rite of passage for ever young reader, this book continues to delight readers around the world and remains as fresh and as funny as ever.

  The Devil I Know - A Novel

  From the award-winning Irish novelist comes this “savagely comic . . . dark, surreal” satire of low morals, high finance, and Ireland’s precarious property boom (The New York Times).   Tristram St. Lawrence hasn’t been home for years. Ever since he missed his mother’s deathbed to go on a bender, the thirteenth Earl of Howth isn’t welcome in the family castle. Now sober, he lives in self-imposed exile and is in contact with only two confidantes. One is Desmond Hickey, a former childhood bully, and current successful developer. The other is M. Deauville, Tristram’s mysterious AA sponsor to whom he is utterly beholden.   Then Hickey pitches an ambitious development project to Tristram. M. Deauville assures him that it’s a great idea. Before Tristram knows it, he’s up to his neck in funding proposals, zoning approvals, bids on property from Britain to Shanghai, and blind drunk with the euphoria of becoming a very rich man.   In this wry skewering of a country, a man, and today’s international financial system, Kilroy “balances perfectly the comic and the monstrous . . . with an eerie believability, leaving us in a situation completely unrealistic and, for that, completely true” (The Daily Beast).
