	The Sheltering Sky by Paul Bowles Find it in the catalog! "As a period piece it is a fascinating read, as an examination of the west's disdain for 'alien' cultures it is a challenge. The prose is eerie and unsettling, in the best possible way!" -- Todd

	Left Neglected by Lisa Genova Find it in the catalog! "Genova writes a clever book about the development of character through struggles and obstacles.

	The Grantchester Mysteries: Sidney Chambers and the Forgiveness of Sins by James Runcie Find it in the catalog! "It reminds me of the Father Brown series on PBS.

But the characters are amusing and nothing is too far-fetched-- perfect summer read." -- Sue
